In the following web extra video, Clark and other parents walk inside the Board of Education building to personally deliver postcards written by students and parents in support of teachers. They demand to go upstairs to see Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard or another CPS representative, but are turned away by security.

Another parent group in support of CPS will gather Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm at Daley Plaza to demand that teachers and principals be held accountable for the education of their students.
