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.

Good article and video at http://www.naturalnews.com entitled “Times Up” Mike Adam’s take on what in store for us near term. Somewhat scary if anything pans out but who knows.

Did you happen to watch his 32 minute video? Even scarier. Comments are good but way down on article.
