Chicago school board votes to bail out Acero charter schools, take control of 5 schools in 2026 – CBS2 (Chicago)

CPS has estimated it will cost CPS $3.2 million to keep all seven schools open next year. A presentation from the school district estimated it would then cost $21 million to $28 million to convert all seven schools into district-run schools. Approximately 2,000 students and a few hundred staff members would be affected if the campuses were to close.
