Chicago Public Schools adds 2,500 staffers for 80,900 fewer students – Illinois Policy

When looking at only teachers, the total was fairly steady: 23,290 teachers in 2012, 23,979 in 2024. The increase in teachers is much more modest at 689 or 3%, but stands out given the precipitous decline in student enrollment.
