"For a close look at this educational carnage, consider Baltimore and Chicago, two cities where school dysfunction merits serious prison time for the adults who perpetrate institutional child abuse against their students."
When Chicago declares Chapter 9, the bankruptcy court should cut CPS’s $30,000 annual spending per student by a third and put $20,000 annually per student into education savings accounts controlled by parents.
It would be a start but still too high. Here is a list of all states from Public School review. Check out Illinois on the list and click Scales Mound school district at $60K per student. They have 255 students of which 7% is minority. And of course they have their very own superintendent. https://www.publicschoolreview.com/average-spending-student-stats/national-data
Good start – agree. But, honestly, that price is as much as many really good, Private Prep schools in Chicago. Example is DePaul Prep is $19,500 and produces better results than public schools ever could. Cutting costs – absolutely agree with you, but really even at that the proposed discounted rate…the value is not there. No?

“These national outrages spring from left-wing, black Democrats’ disastrous policies” “Atop this stinking pile sit black liberal Democrats who betray their own people” Kudos to Deroy Murdock, for his plain-spoken truth. Sad.
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.
