"Chicago has struggled for decades to keep its vibrant middle class from fleeing to the suburbs when their kids reach school age. The offering of more choices in education, a long-time city policy, hasn’t gone perfectly, but it’s inarguable in our view that without those choices Chicago would be in far worse shape."
New CPS/CTU policy direction is reason why BJ administration has steadfastly refused to house migrants in empty and near-empty CPS school buildings.
This “neighborhood schools only; terminate selective enrollment” employment-initiative policy is CTU’s clever redirection to create new staffing requirements for every neighborhood school building, so as to substantially increase CTU membership via demand for new teacher hires.

How many Chicagoans who supported ending the Invest in Kids Act were hornswoggled into believing they already had a form of school choice in public education and it wouldn’t be taken away?
The repeal of IIKA was only the beginning. They’re attempting to rollback the innovations of the past 30 years that were built on decades of evidence showing change in the status quo was necessary. For motivated parents, the choice will be parochial school or a move to the suburbs.
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.
Commies destroy everything, haven’t you noticed?
