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.
Considering how many jobs this will create and how many union members voted for Trump, these whiny liberals like Greenfield had best watch their mouth or they may find themselves getting whacked with a shovel. Trump has articulated goals that will put a lot of union members back to work, although how to pay for it remains to be seen. Hillary had nothing for them.
