School enrollments decline every year as families flee Chicago. Solution? Build yet another school that must be staffed and maintained for its insufficient enrollment.

I’ve read articles on Wirepoints about so many CPS schools with extremely low enrollment but now there’s a proposal to spend $50 million for a new school. Insanity, but democrats run the show in Chicago. Amendment 1 passes and teachers will demand they be given a new home and vehicle of their choice every year.
