CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Chicago Public Schools has suspended a meal program, among others, in light of protests across the city.

The district's grab-and-go meal sites will be closed Monday. Officials have also moved to cancel all school and administrative office activities.

"The safety of our school community is top of mind, and we are closely monitoring the situation in our city," CPS wrote in a letter to families and staff. "Based on the evolving nature of activity across the city, we are suspending grab-and-go meal sites and all other school and administrative office activities tomorrow, 6/1."

Instead, staff will work remotely, and students will continue to participate in remote learning.

In the letter, CPS said in part, the decision was made "out of an abundance of caution and in recognition of the potential challenges families and staff could face trying to reach school buildings and offices."

There is no work on whether the sites will reopen Tuesday.
