Chicago Public Schools seek taxpayer funds to renovate nearly empty schools – Center Square

The report by Wirepoints shows that the schools are seeking $14.4 billion to address emergency building repairs and that $1 billion of the taxpayer funds is for the district's 20 mostly empty schools. Ted Dabrowski of Wirepoints said CPS could find a better way to spend that money. "They want to spend billions more, and instead of taking whatever little money they have and properly spending it to improve outcomes, they are just wasting money on failing empty schools."
