Is your school accessible?

Chicago Public Schools Accessibility
Thanks to Walter Brzeski for sharing his up-to-date from June 2019 accessibility information from Chicago Public Schools (which he received in a FOIA request).

While some CPS schools are completely accessible, some are first floor only accessible. Unfortunately, not all Chicago Public Schools buildings are accessible.

CPS uses designations - usable, first floor usable and not accessible. 
The American with Disabilities Act general requires that school facilities built after 1992 (and renovated after 1992) be accessible. One way to make CPS buildings accessible is if, upon a request, a person with a disability requests that a class that is offered on the 2nd floor be offered on the 1st floor. 

Read after the jump if your school is accessible. ​
