A 2022 annual report from the district’s Office of Inspector General provides multiple instances where CPS staff fraudulently underreported their income and received SNAP benefits while making their children eligible for free-and-reduced lunches at their schools. The Inspector General report states that the eligibility of students for free-and-reduced lunches is important because it is "also the determination of other important funding streams for CPS."
Just another good example of how all government employees are crooks and screw over the poor honest hard-working taxpayer every chance they get. Taxpayers were put on earth to pay taxes and be cheated by government. Shut up and pay your taxes fool.

The school lunch program was a scam on the 70s too. After the Archbishop closed my Catholic school in 1969 I went to the public school where they had a “free lunch” program for allegedly poor Marginalized under represented at-risk kids. They got a lunch card which was to last them 2 weeks. Occasionally they’d lose on the floor in the hallway. Id always pick them up and use their unpunched days left.
It was a real bonus if they lost them early in the 2 week period. I once got 9 free lunches as Reggie Brown!

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.

If they reply at all, it will be obfuscation and bloviating.
Just additional proof that IL public sector union members are grifters at heart.
Union member response: Clearly you’re just jealous that you didn’t get in on the scam! 😉
