Many at forum oppose the change, which started Monday at six schools.
Despite opposition from the Chicago Teachers Union, nine schools have voted to add more time.
A press conference is planned for today to highlight need for children to spend more time in the classroom and less time on the streets.
The head of Stand for Children takes credit for getting the legislation passed, causing lawmakers and other lobbying groups to cry foul.
