Our Approach

The implementation for hub stops is based on a dual approach, one being those students furthest away from opportunity based on the opportunity index in conjunction with what’s operationally feasible which are those schools with later bell times (8:45 and 9am) which allow us to utilize existing resources. All while continuing to prioritize our most vulnerable population.

Approx. 37 sites will be re-activated which is where the hub stop will be located. These stops are all CPS schools.
