Children deserve a rich and meaningful school experience. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has pushed for draconian budget cuts that will eliminate many of the essential services children need.
Last week, Chicago Public Schools announced plans to lay off more than 3,000 teachers and school staff. This will mean larger class size, fewer classroom aides, and fewer enriching classes like art and music.
But while the mayor is laying off these experienced educators, he's given a $1.6 million contract to Teach For America to bring in inexperienced teachers. That's a misuse of funds and doesn't help kids.
