If CPS didn’t factor in this unguaranteed money, outgoing CPS CEO Pedro Martinez said, CPS’ budget deficit would be $529 million, school-based budgets would be reduced and principals would have to cut programs and thousands of staff.
I was in Indiana the other day. Mentioned to a guy I was from Illinois. He reached in his pocket gave me a 10 dollars and said I’m sorry it’s all I have but you need this more than me. After the state taxes it you’ll have a buck for coffee.

This would be funny if it weren’t so sad. This problem/issue, never ever goes away and is never resolved. Every week or so, there is another crisis or another cliff CPS and most other school districts need jump off. Bottomless pit of funding, inefficiency, ineptitude, graft and waste. They need $600M more this year…or else the children will suffer. These people are like the TV ads for ASPCA…only thing missing is the hungry kid with an empty bowl.
