A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.

These are the same people who teach the students values. Wonder why crime is going up.
Another reason for a thorough house cleaning at CPS after missing computers, fraudulent PPP loans, chronic absenteeism by teachers, sexual abuse, etc. And investigate the CTU while you’re at it.
Unfortunately nobody in Illinois has the balls to investigate CTU/CPS
Hmm.. I thought we had an elected official that would be in charge of investigating malfeasance at the taxpayers expense in a state department. Arabic sounding name, likes to get involved in others states affairs re transgender rights, their selection of Supreme Court justices, etc. Pity he doesn’t seem to have time to address the inequities in his own back yard.
Local governments cheat by spending public funds profligately, then obtaining federal grants (funded by taxpayers from other States) when predictable disasters strike.
Solve this by oversight and enforcement of laws regarding public spending: inventory of publicly purchased assets, audited expense accounts of public officials, and forensic audits of public officials’ financial conflicts (if any) with public-funds contract recipients.
