One way that these assets could work together is by having the Ward
continue to advocate for excess TIF funding to be donated to CPS
schools in the area. With this money the school could invest in
computers and more technology resources that could benefit both
students with disabilities and without. BLUE1647 could also donate
some of their old equipment. Moreover, BLUE1647 could work with tech
startups to create programs that specifically aid kids with disabilities as
a way of giving back to the community. These programs could benefit
both the local public schools, the wellness center second chance
program and the CCC Arturo Velasquez Institute. They could also
assemble an after-school tech program taught by volunteers for kids
that are underserved in a traditional classroom setting. Schools can also
create a parent association made up of parents of kids with disabilities
so that they can share resources, support each other, and advocate for
their collective needs.
