"Chicago Public Schools recently announced the end of student-based budgeting, citing a desire to implement a new funding formula based on 'student needs.' By abandoning student-based budgeting, the district no longer wants the money to follow the students. Instead, they want the Chicago Teachers Union to dictate how the money will be used."
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
