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.
After the city & state confiscate are homes, paychecks, and retirement accs we’ll still have the lottery to fall back on!! What a great state to live in that looks out for it citizenry!!! How we are blessed!!
Ironically the lottery is played by those who can least afford it.
