“With a historic billion-dollar deficit, we are taking every step we can to minimize any impacts to the classroom." --CPS Liar-in-Chief Becky Carroll
Homeowners, prepare to dig deeper. Schoolchildren — especially high schoolers — prepare to get less. -- Sun-Times

Well they have, slashing classroom spending by $68 million. This while throwing the whole system into chaos by closing about 50 schools, mostly in African-American neighborhoods, further disrupting the lives of more than 40,000 children and their families
