Without more state funding, CPS plans to lay off 280 rehired staff in December – Chicago Tribune*

The district’s financial picture faces other pressures, too, according to the memo.

Close the under/non used schools and use the savings to keep those hires on the job. I bet Stacy Gates will not lose a penny.
