Number of half-empty Chicago public schools doubles, yet lawmakers want to extend school closing moratorium – Wirepoints
A set of state lawmakers want to extend CPS’ current school closing moratorium to February 1, 2027 – the same year CPS is set to transition to a fully-elected school board. That means schools like Manley High School, with capacity for more than 1,000 students but enrollment of just 78, can’t be closed for anther three years. The school spends $45,000 per student, but just 2.4% of students read at grade level.
Meh, the union will sue CPS and CPS will have to pay them back pay, interest, legal fees and penalties. I hope that doesn’t happen, but history suggests that the tax payer is always screwed…this will just be a delay in the process.

How stupid is this woman? When your boss tells you to show up for work and you refuse, that’s defiance.
