Perhaps spending $638 million on “migrants” during the Biden years wasn’t the best of ideas? Around $300 million was Chicago/Illinois money
(NBC Chicago) Chicago Public Schools laid off nearly 1,500 teachers and staff members on Friday, citing changes in school enrollment and academic programming, district officials said.
CPS, in a press release announcing the job cuts, said the majority of employees impacted by layoffs have historically obtained new positions within the district ahead of the new school year, and it once again expects that to be the case.
The district typically announces layoffs in June following an evaluation of staffing and sources, however, staffing adjustments were pushed back due to delays in CPS’ budget process.
“These staffing adjustments are part of a systemwide effort to align resources more equitably and strategically based on school enrollment trends, academic programming, and student needs,” the district said in the statement, in part.
In other words, they’re broke.
According to the union, the job cuts amount to roughly 1% of the workforce, which is “far lower” than layoffs experienced by CTU members in 2024.
Wait, what? Did you know that there are almost 47,000 working for CPS? Out of a population of 2.66 million. That’s 1/56 of the population. Even though attendance is down over 10%. Seems excessive. 30% o the schools are half empty. There is tons of violence.
(Wirepoints) Across CPS, outcomes are embarrassingly bad. Only 27 percent can read at grade level and just 24 percent are proficient in math.
Well, I’m sure the laid off teachers can find other lucrative jobs in city government.
