Morton West Principal Resigns, Parents Speak Out

The District 201 School Board accepted the resignation of Morton West principal, John Lucas. Members of the Morton West PTO spoke out in the open forum during last night's school board meeting, praising Mr. Lucas for improving attendance and test scores during his short time at MW. The parents accused the Cicero dominated school board (6 of the 7 members are Cicero Residents) of forcing the Morton West principal to resign without any input from the Morton West communities of Berwyn, Stickney, Forest View, McCook and Lyons.
