My guess is that it costs around 20,000 per student to school these kids. And it is still not enough. Meanwhile the Lutheran School my youngest attended is a little over a third of that.

This isn’t even about class room funding. It is all about pensions

They most likely are pissed because Chicago is a Sanctuary City and they use fed bucks to support these illegals. Trump has said they will cut funds to sanctuary cities.

I think on an earlier thread on FR from this morning, there was a link to a FB photo or something.

The Trump administration is, hopefully, going abolish Dept. Of Education. They’re terrified.

I live in Chicago. This is typical rabid Teachers’ Union behavior. Another example that I witnessed in January 2013. I New Jersey Teach Union Officer told me (she thought I was an Obama supporter) told me they used ALL their union due monies to defeat Christy. Teachers hand over their hard earned money to The Union and The Union wastes it on political elections.

That is so illegal and sets these people up to lawsuits as well. It’s firing time.

Public schools are Satan’s American masterpiece.
Get over it.

And our homeschool is under $500 per year.

Wonder if one looked at CPS management, if one would find an “cheating” of the children in the form of wasteful mismanagement of school district funds, over priced school executives, etc.?
To: cyclotic
We’re down to our last kid. Cost is probably $0.00

Yep, no problem in Chicago schools until Trump became President. Damn Trump works fast!

Answering my own question, it seems CPS has been poorly managed for years.
Chicago's schools are running out of cash after drawing down reserves and shortchanging pensions for years, which caused its annual payment to soar. The district has relied on borrowing to help cover budget shortfalls, making it crucial to maintain access to the municipal bond market. On Jan. 29, Moody's Investors Service cut the board deeper into junk, citing an "increasingly precarious liquidity position and acute need for market access to support ongoing operations."
