Illinois State Senator James Meeks is trying to drum up support among Chicago aldermen for his effort to have Chicago Public Schools students boycott the first day of classes next month in a protest over a lack of state funding.
However, an alderman says he is not going to get aldermanic support for the tactic.
Alderman Freddrenna Lyle says there is no consensus among Chicago's black aldermen to support Meeks' boycott call. She says the bottom line is that everyone want the children in school.
