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.
If only the private sector working taxpayers had voted in ChicagoLand, Trump would have cleaned up and the state would be red, bigtime anti-Hillary. Hardworking taxpaying citizens vote for less fascist, thieving govt. That describes Republicans.
