How to Walk to School: Blueprint for a Neighborhood School Renaissance

Jacqueline Edelberg

When two moms ventured inside their neighborhood’s struggling public elementary school, the new principal asked what it would take for them to enroll their children. Sensing opportunity, they returned the next day with an extensive wish list. The principal read their list and said, “Well, let’s get started, girls! It’s going to be a busy year…” In How to Walk to School, Jacqueline Edelberg, the neighborhood mom, and Susan Kurland, the school principal, provide a blueprint for reclaiming public education based on their efforts to transform their own challenged urban school into one of Chicago’s best.
