CPS said around 10% of schools would see their individual budgets flatline or drop in the fall, while the other 90% of schools will see increased funding compared to last year.
That’s also up approximately $90 million from the $150 million increase district officials said they anticipated back in April.
“With no guarantee that State or local revenues will be able to keep up with rising expenditures, and no long-term plan in place, the Civic Federation has substantial concerns about how the District will handle a budget shortfall without further straining property taxpayers or reversing the fiscal progress made in recent years,” the organization stated in its report.
“A safe school is a place that gives students a chance to learn in all the ways that they may need,” Natalya Miner, a junior at William Howard Taft High School, said in a statement Wednesday. “A safe school also means teachers have freedom to be creative and innovative and administrators are present and available, engaging deeply and often with students.”, while Marshall High School’s LSC voted to remove both of its SROs.
As schools have eliminated SRO positions, CPS reallocated $3.9 million to support community-centered and holistic safety solutions through collaborations with community partners.
