AT THAT HIGH SCHOOL.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

THE MAYOR, GOVERNOR AND

STATES OFFICIALS WORKING LATE

TONIGHT TRYING TO END FEARS.

WE WILL BE SPEAKING TO HER

IN DETAIL TO UNDERSTAND HER

MOVEMENTS.

TO COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE WHO

MAY BE AT RISK IN THE CHICAGO

AREA.

THAT INCLUDES THE 212

STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AND STAFF

AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THE TEACHER WORKS AS A SPECIAL

EDUCATION TEACHER BUT HER

DUTIES GO BEYOND THE CLASSROOM.

SUPPORT THE STUDENTS TO AND

FROM OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE

BUILDING SUCH AS THE RESTROOM,

LUNCHROOM.

SOME ASSIST WITH FEEDING.

THAT'S WHY THEY OFFERED TO

A NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL

ATTENTION.
