  • Harriet Beecher Stowe Dual Language School, formerly Stowe Elementary School, in West Humboldt, Chicago up to the early 1970s had an entirely white student body. [3] In 1966, it had 1,212 students and 38 teachers. On August 10, 1966, Mildred Chucut became principal after being transferred from Jenner School. [4] By the 1970s, the student population included many Latinx. There were accusations of her disrespecting students, with some groups asking for her removal, much like how accusations were made against her when she was principal at Jenner. She denied the accusations and credited them to agitators trying to install a Latinx principal. [3]

Ryerson School closed in 2013, [6] and Laura Ward, previously in East Garfield Park, [7] was moved to the former Ryerson building, which became the new Ward Elementary building; both school populations merged into one. [6] There were members of the Ryerson community who were afraid that the Ward community would cause violent incidents at their school. [7] Parents of Ryerson did a walkout in protest. [8]
