Currently, some schools in Illinois are able to spend as much as $30,000 per student, while others can only afford the $6,119 foundation level.

Do you hear the giant sucking sound??? I can hear it WITHOUT MY HEARING AIDS! That is Chicago testing their giant money sucking black hole,the money goes in but NOTHING comes out.

If only we had $30,000/ student, like New Trier or Hinsdale; ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WOULD BE ABOVE AVERAGE! ---Or maybe not.

If Chicago paid the teachers more they would be better teachers!---Or maybe not.

It's for the children!---Or maybe not.

2012 - Chicago school teachers make a median salary of $71,017.A comparison among the 50 largest U.S. school districts reveals that Chicago teachers now rank among the top three highest-paid groups of teachers in each of the three categories of teacher pay measured by the National Council on Teacher Quality

Graduation rates 2011 Chicago Graduation rate: 60.6% (source CPS press release) Graduation rate for Chicago charter schools: 76% (source CPS) Graduation rate for CPS citywide: 58% (source CPS) A 2006 study found that for every 100 Chicago public high school freshmen, only six get four-year college degrees.

In case you missed it, Chicago and the State of Illinois are beyond broke.

Transfer all your money off shore to Panama.--Or maybe not.

All of this can be solved very easily.

Make it a FELONY for any person that can be classified as a “Public Employee” to utilize ANY School that can not be defined as a “Public School”

All problems will be solved OVERNIGHT!

Has it passed both chambers? Is Rauner going to sign it?

SB 231 passed the Senate and was introduced into the House today. Call your Representative and tell him/her to vote NO on SB 231.

Pray about it. God knows exactly where you should live.

Rauner needs to to do a whistle blower maneuver to identify all the waste and fraud. The reward money would be more than worth it.
