CHICAGO (AP) — Many students in the nation’s third-largest school district are heading back to school.
Classes start Monday at Chicago Public Schools for so-called E-Track students, or those who are on a year-round schedule. They have same number of school days as students on a regular schedule, but their vacation days are spread out through the year.
Hundreds of Chicago schools have a year-round schedule.
Several community organizations have been organizing back-to-school supply drives and events. The Rev. Jesse Jackson plans to greet students Monday morning at two Chicago schools.
Students on a regular track at Chicago schools start classes next month.
More than 400,000 students are enrolled in Chicago Public Schools.
