Breaking: Local School Councils voting to reject CPS budget cuts. UPDATED.

Two days ago the Blaine Local School Council voted to reject the $600,000 budget cut ordered by the CPS board.
LAKEVIEW — Blaine Elementary’s Local School Council wanted to send a message to CPS Thursday night after hearing that a $600,000-plus shortfall would mean the loss of seven staffers: They will not stand for the cuts.
The group voted to reject the budget, with Principal Troy LaRaviere abstaining, and was loudly applauded as the community agreed to fight for more money from the system.
Expected losses at Blaine include the elimination of art, music and a middle school
