A group of teachers, alumni and parents of students at George Washington High School on Tuesday called on Chicago Public Schools to do something about the school’s crumbling infrastructure.

They said the building’s degradation has been evident for 10 years and culminated last week in the partial collapse of a school ceiling. The conditions are endangering the students and staff, they said.
