Special education students at a Chicago school are being taught in offices, hallways, storage rooms, stairwells and in classrooms with asbestos, some parents say. The parents say students are facing the questionable conditions at Prescott Elementary School, located in the city's Lincoln Park neighborhood. They say their concerns are being ignored, and they're deciding to take a stand. “I am frustrated, disappointed and looking for some action for issues we have encountered now for four months,” said parent Ana Ribeiro. “When the burden falls only on kids with disabilities, this is not a space issue, it is a discrimination issue. I am advocating for my child, but all the children as well.”
