Chicago mayor wants $1 billion more for schools even though 43% of CPS teachers are chronically absent – Wirepoints Quickpoint
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently traveled to Springfield with a big wish list, including $1 billion in extra funding for Chicago Public Schools. Among the reasons his demand should be categorically rejected: the growing rate of CPS teachers simply not showing up to school.
He might be a better pundit than mayor. Hopefully he provides something more substantive than the talking points memo from the DNC that instructs them to repeat some version of “orange man bad” at every opportunity.
