Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Why should the rest of the state bear the burden because Chicago can’t keep it’s house in order ? I’m sure downstaters want to foot the bill for a bunch of overpaid teachers.
Bad comparison, CTU. Massachusetts public school rankings are some of the best in the country and rank exponentially higher than public schools in Illinois. All while MA teachers are held accountable for results.
Massachusetts also has the most liberal, money hemorrhaging program for illegals. I’m sure Castro would be all in on following their example on that as well.
CPS and CTU did this to the schools. Let them bail themselves out. Why should the ste pay for greed and mismanagement with poor student outcomes.
If you were to ask how much is fully funded the answer is always the same. More.
CPS is it’s own, it belongs to Chicago and is a Chicago problem.
Nearly 1/2 the schools need to be close and consolidated.
Abandon Illinois at all cost
