We are working on this story to get the background of what happened. Here is what we have so far.
The Chicago Public Schools converted a closed African American school into a shelter for migrants, the former Wadsworth Elementary School, later University of Chicago Charter School, at 6420 S. University Ave.
Woodlawn residents are frustrated with a perceived lack of transparency. But the city is telling residents the situation is fluid, and the decision to move into Wadsworth is in anticipation of more migrants coming.
"We don't necessarily want to sit and wait and see what happens," Nubia Willman of the Mayor's office said at the Wednesday night meeting. "We want to be proactive."
The Mayor's office told CBS News on Oct. 25, "There are no plans to use the vacant Wadsworth Elementary School as a temporary shelter for newly-arrived asylum seekers at this time."
"The city's hiding everything instead of coming out forward to us," said Woodlawn resident Luis Cardona.
All the beds for asylum seekers are also filled at a hotel on the Near North Side, and 260 spots are taken at a closed school in the South Loop – even though there is room for only 220.
The Mayor's office said the capacity issue at these temporary shelters is what drove the decision to open up a facility at the former Wadsworth Elementary School, later the University of Chicago Charter School, at 6420 S. University Ave.
The school was shut down starting with a hired criminal and absconder, CPS CEO Jean-Claude Brizard, and put in place by ultra-authoritarian orthodox politician Mayor Rahm Emanuel. 
BOARDWATCH: Rahm's going to replace Jean-Claude Brizard with Barbara Byrd Bennett... One FNG outsider is as good as another, as long as she's been vetted by the Broad Foundation and checks off that 'diversity' box in the billionaire's check list

Brizzard traveled around the country like a carnival barker siphoning money from public assets and converting government-owned services into private crony companies. Such as AUSL management company with politically connected Board members profiting from these privatization schemes. Part of the same organized club of Broadie's that included convicted CPS CEO Felon Barbara Byrd Bennett, who tried to steal 20 million dollars for herself through fake education companies.

Brizard has said these CPS projects are critically necessary to improve struggling school districts and the lives of the children they serve.

Many migrants are from Venezuela and other south and central American countries seeking asylum, from what we don't know yet.
It is questionable why these migrants are allowed into our country since the places they are coming from are democracies.
The University of Chicago is footsteps away from this newest polarization tactic by Neo-liberal politicians in Chicago, Cook County, and Springfield.
The University of Chicago is just footsteps from where this school is located, where the birth of modern-day colonization under the Chicago Boys came to be.

The Chicago Boys were a group of Chilean economists prominent around the 1970s and 1980s, the majority of whom were educated at the Department of Economics of the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman and Arnold Harberger, or at its affiliate in the economics department at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. After they finished their studies and returned to Latin America, they adopted positions in numerous South American governments including, prominently, the military dictatorship of Chile (1973–1990), as economic advisors. Many of them reached the highest positions within those governments. While The Heritage Foundation credits them with transforming Chile into Latin America's best performing economy and one of the world's most business-friendly jurisdictions, critics point to drastic increases in unemployment that can be attributed to counter-inflation policies implemented on their advice. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were influenced by Chile's policies and economic reforms.
As the key economic advisors of the Pinochet dictatorship, the Chicago Boys were the forerunners of the economic policies of that government. They sponsored state run policies to decrease national spending, end inflation and promote economic growth. They promoted a policy of strict austerity and cut government expenditures substantially. Free trade agreements and the breakdown of barriers to trade were also promoted to help Chile compete in the world market. They also privatized public companies, and utilized the free market rather than government rule to promote their economic policies. This was part of the neoliberal economic views espoused by Milton Friedman, the ideological backer for their views. Friedman and his connections to the Chicago Boys was highly politicized especially after he received the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1976. The policies are also sometimes referred to as shock therapy based on the fact that they were projected to hurt the economy but overall be beneficial in the long run.

These policies influenced future governments and organizations tied to the neoliberal economic viewpoint such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and other International Organizations and governments. However, the relations between these organizations were not always close, and rivalry between neoliberal organizations still existed.
The ideology of free market capitalism and laissez faire economics in conjunction with a strong military rule and total political control is the cornerstone of Pinochetism, in conjunction with a strong anti-communist political platform. These policies and their effects are both highly controversial in Chile and around the World, and represent a major divide in Chilean politics to this day.

Woodlawn residents frustrated over lack of transparency about planned migrant shelter at old school
By Lauren Victory
December 29, 2022 / 7:35 PM / CBS Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) -- For two months, we have been telling you about possible plans to house migrants at a shuttered South Side elementary school.
People living nearby demanded answers, and finally got them at a community meeting Wednesday night. As CBS 2's Lauren Victory reported Thursday, we finally know more about what the city is doing to shelter migrants bused to Chicago.
Currently, the city is housing migrants at 11 facilities – including the Chicago Parthenon Hostel in Greektown. There are 119 beds for migrants at the hostel, and all 119 are filled.
All the beds for asylum seekers are also filled at a hotel on the Near North Side, and 260 spots are taken at a closed school in the South Loop – even though there is room for only 220.
The Mayor's office said the capacity issue at these temporary shelters is what drove the decision to open up a facility at the former Wadsworth Elementary School, later University of Chicago Charter School, at 6420 S. University Ave.
"The city's hiding everything instead of coming out forward to us," said Woodlawn resident Luis Cardona.
That is how several Woodlawn homeowners feel after what seems like a flip-flop with regard to the old school. They contacted CBS 2 months ago after hearing the building was being turned into temporary housing for migrants.
We first reported on the issue Oct. 24.
"I've been seeing a lot of electricians, and Peoples Gas," Cardona said.
Woodlawn residents outraged over migrant shelter plan
Preparations continued Thursday. We spotted workers such as elevator repair crews undertaking some last-minute tweaks at the old school. Add that to the list of work orders for new arrivals we obtained – and the running rehab tab of $1.5 million.
But this time, the city is admitting the repair crews are at the school to create an emergency shelter for migrants – while in the past, they denied it.
"Thankfully, a lot of work has been done on it in recent months," Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications manager Matthew Doughtie said at the community meeting Wednesday night.
Indeed, CBS 2 showed you pictures of rehab work on the inside, and construction vans outside, back in October.
But back then, the Chicago Public Schools called it all "routine maintenance work."
The Mayor's office told us on Oct. 25, "There are no plans to use the vacant Wadsworth Elementary School as a temporary shelter for newly-arrived asylum seekers at this time."
Now, apparently, 150 single men and women will be moving into the old school next week.
"Our ideal target start date there is January 6th," Doughtie said at the community meeting.
That leaves only eight days.
"It's not right for them not to let the community know," Cardona said.
Neighbors invited to the community meeting – which was called a "conversation," but did not really involve a discussion – felt whiplashed.
"it's really meetings like this where we're more told than being a partner," a pastor said at the meeting.
"You've not told us any detail about the safety and security infrastructure around that campus," a homeowner added.
City officials did outline the rules that asylum seekers and shelters must follow. They include:
An 11 p.m. curfew, after which clients may not leave except for reasons approved by the staff such as employment, or in case of emergency.
No visitors allowed.
No drugs or alcohol are allowed on the property.
"I'm frustrated," Cardona said.
Woodlawn residents are frustrated with a perceived lack of transparency. But the city is telling residents the situation is fluid, and the decision to move into Wadsworth is in anticipation of more migrants coming.
"We don't necessarily want to sit and wait and see what happens," Nubia Willman of the Mayor's office said at the Wednesday night meeting. "We want to be proactive."
Again, the plan to move ahead with the old Wadsworth building is apparently because of capacity issues faced by existing emergency shelters. In total, the city is housing more than 1,500 migrants in only about 1,400 spots.
We are told buses have brought 3,800 asylum seekers to Chicago in the past four months alone.

CTU Silent on this WHy?
why is the chicago teachers union silent on converting a school to a migrant facility in Woodlawn?
They are complicit that why. They are pro-gentrification and could care less for any working class students or families harmed in chicago. Look and ask what is the background of the people working at the ctu today. they are all upper middle class intellectuals or technocrats in some cases lumpen like luskin and berg. they are ruling class stooges doing the dirty work to clean out Chicago.
