District 65 has been adding employees while losing enrollment for the past several years. That deficit is now projected at $10 million in day-to-day operational spending for the current fiscal year, and more if you include other funds. “There is no way we can continue to support Individual Education Services (special ed and related programs)”, Superintendent Angel Turner stated, without restructuring.
Imagine how cool it would be if you could run your household like so many of these schools and governmental entities in IL; i.e., not worry about overspending because someone else would always give you more money. In the case of the public school districts and governmental entities in IL, the “someone else” is the IL taxpayer, of course.

Very simple solution. The liberal filth that inhabit that school district just need to vote to double or triple taxes. Being the great libfilth that they are, they should all volunteer to double or triple their taxes. Let’s see who steps up.

why would the “public” show up… our kids were there from 82 96 and any time someone objected to the spending you all played the race card, we have to end the Gap, more money poured into failing academic policies…sorry not sorry about you current problems

Perhaps they should redirect some of their reparations to the schools!
Amen brother. The City just flushed $5 million down the drain on reparations so a couple of dozen folks could re-do their bathrooms and rec rooms, but thousands of students– and some very needy special ed kids– will get short changed once again. Maybe the State should come in and take over that district.
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.

I was thinking the exact same thing!
