Schools CEO visits family of drowning victim

The head of Chicago Public Schools made a home visit to the family of one of three teenagers who drowned during a school leadership retreat.

On Sunday, CEO Arne Duncan visited Sharon Gowdy who has expressed anger over not being contacted by school officials immediately after Friday's tragedy in Algonquin.

Gowdy is the mother of 18-year-old Jimmy Avant. He and two others, 17-year-old Melvin Choice Jr. and 16-year-old Adrian Jones, died Friday.

The three students sneaked away from the a camp dorm in the middle of the night and launched paddle boats into the Fox River, not knowing the boats' floor plugs had been removed for the winter.

School and YMCA officials say they are investigating the deaths.

Thirty-one boys from North Lawndale College Prep were on the school trip.
