Byrne Elementary community rallies behind paralyzed clerk facing job loss

Judy Mahoney, a clerk at Byrne Elementary in Chicago, faces job loss after Chicago Public Schools plans to eliminate her position by June 30. Paralyzed from the waist down in a 2017 car crash with a drunken driver, Mahoney has worked for CPS for 23 years and transitioned schools due to accessibility issues. Community members, staff, and union representatives rallied to support her retention.
