Given the state the City will be in during the summits, schools and businesses are considering closing and/or will be closed during the news reported dates for the Summits.
Saint Ignatius school is planning on closing for the summits not due to close proximity, but to prevent any danger to their students of whom they have 1,400, that travel to school. Their prom was moved and they are adjusting the sports games to away games.
Columbia College has already modified their Spring schedule so that students can avoid much of the problems the Summits may cause.
DePaul University will be closing it's Loop Campus. It's not quite that they are worried about protesters, but for the reason that the traffic would be so horrid students and staff may not even be able to make it in.
As we move closer to the Summits, we can expect even more schools to close as well as quite a few businesses.
