"They may be too young to cast a ballot, but some 300 Chicago school students on Monday did their part to urge adults to head to the polls and call voters’ attention to education.

Student leaders from Voices of Youth in Chicago Education – VOYCE – held a rally to call on the new mayor to work with students to set forth a new vision for Chicago Public Schools.

‘When I visit many of my friends who attend different schools, I get the opportunity of seeing the school they attend. In these visits, I can obviously see that when I compare the schools, there is definitely something wrong. I see some schools are clearly well-funded whereas some other schools might not be," said one student.’"
