With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Audio and summary 
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.
Chicago needs to stop closing charter schools until they makeCTU start teaching students
If they need to make cuts, closing charter schools should happen. Cut elsewhere and raise taxes if necessary but CPS needs more money. All the people that think it’s so easy need to go teach or shut their pie hole and open their wallet.
Hmm.. noticed that you didn’t mention closing the 1/4 of schools that are far below capacity. You also failed to propose sacking higher paid teachers with a history of truancy and low performance from their students. And you skipped the part where CTU is DEMANDING obscene raises as part of their hostage note, er new contract. Illinoisians have been “ opening their wallets “ for years now with increasingly dismal results to show for it.
I didn’t mention cutting anything from education because that is the exact opposite of what should happen.. More money should be directed towards CPS not less. Pritzker should implement a tax on all private school tuition with all funds going to public schools. That way all the people that want to ignore the problems with public education can at least help provide financial support. Time to open that wallet a little more. NO CUTS to education.
