Ibanez, Executive Director, Pilsen Alliance comes this email note. She adds a clarification to where the $200,000 allocation came from: Thanks for covering the Whittier Elementary story (Pilsen Parents Keep Pushing for School Improvements)Wednesday, October 21, 2009There is in error in the article. CPS did NOT allocate/give Whittier the $200,000, State REpresentative Eddie Acevedo did. He obtained it from the State during the Spring Legislative Session after Whittier parents met with him (a number of times) to explain the need for a School Expansion and ADA compliance!thank you,alejandra l. ibanezexecutive Director, pilsen alliance From Alejandra L.
