A school board meeting grew tense in Maywood Tuesday night, as disgruntled parents confronted the Proviso Township High School District over classroom conditions.
As CBS 2's Marybel González reported, frustrated parents took to the podium at Proviso East High School after nearly two weeks of dealing with what they call teacher and bus driver shortages. They say they haven't gotten answers, so they showed up to bring their questions straight to the board.
Trena Ellis, a frustrated mom, took video of students she said were crammed in a cafeteria on the first day of school at Proviso West because of teacher shortages. Ellis was among the parents and educators who brought their shared concerns to the school board at Tuesday night – and tensions ran high. "My student didn't have a full schedule. He was not scheduled for an eighth period. So he kind of just left the building," she said."He was unaccounted for, because there was nowhere for them to be.""So what are wo doing?" said Proviso West teacher Carissa Gillespie.
