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.
And yet during teachers strike (with help from reports like s karp-wbez) ctu is able to claim cps is understaffed and cps or press go along with the hustle, no questions asked? Unbalivable
They still probably have a full complement of employees. Student/teacher ratio maybe 3 to 1 or 1 to 3 who knows?. All utilities still being paid with heating bills thru the roof (figuratively and literally) Closing those schools means kids would have to walk or ride the bus further thru dangerous neighborhoods. With unlimited taxpayer money it doesn’t matter. Soon if CTU and CPS have their say every child would have their own school.
