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.

Just a thought!
“Bend the curve” became “stop the spread of the disease cold”.
If they can convince you they can stop the movement of pathogens by controlling your movement, your appearance, where you go, and when, they can convince you of anything.
