$20.5 million to train principals.
There are 613 elementary and high schools in the Chicago system serving 400,000 students.
Assuming 2 principals per school, that’s $16,721 per principle for each of 1226 principals.
Don’t know what they were going to be trained on, but that’s rediculous. Throw her in jail.
Lots of money to train principals.
How was this justified? Do principals in Chicago need special training to deal with black youth? Or due to some schools being in war zones/gang territory??? What are they really saying???
Especially when you consider that they probably all have advanced degrees, presumably have worked in that system for a few years before being named principals. That does not even count looking at the board of education administrative staff (probably dozens of them, at least), who are being paid excellent money to train the principals.
