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.
Wonder how many of the State Reps and Senators keep their offices mainly for the free advertising.
State Rep X’s office sign on a busy road.
State Senator Y’s name on the window of the office.
etc.
Rep Ives gives us hope, because it sure hasn’t been Rauner. Hope she runs for Governor after rauner
