Chicago Public Schools ... The district said it would freeze funds for schools where students appear to be enrolled, but have not attended any days of classes or received class schedules.
...
The district said 10th day enrollment totaled 367,499. In 2002, the district's enrollment was 438,589.

Not on grades, achievement, test scores, happiness, unicorn visits .... just ‘warm bodies in chairs’...
At least in Atlanta when liberal teachers were cheating it was to make up for failed efforts to teach the kids. In Chicago it's just to lie about ‘warm bodies in chairs’...
Chicago schools are said to be among the worst public schools in the country. Congrats to all who could do so, who have moved out of Chicago or put their kids in private/better schools.
Well, to the extent that funding is tied to enrollment and attendance, they have some money issues don’t they?? I’m sure Rahm and his boys can figure it all out.
Conservative parents who are stuck in Chi-Town are moving their kids to Charter or Private Schools, would be my guess.
Or else, the ‘migration’ of undesirables from Chicago continues with Madistan and Mpls./St. Paul Taxpayers picking up the tab?
It works out to about $10k per student per year.
Or about $250,000 per class room per year at 25 students per class.
For that much money you could pay the teacher $100K, buy every student a new laptop and textbooks every year and rent space in a tony office building.
The amount of money we piss away in public schools every year is unbelievable.
Places like Dubuque, Iowa, are destinations for Chicago subsidized housing recipients. Part of a fed plan to promote ‘diversity’.
Actually, in most city schools, per-pupil expenditures are around $20k/year.
In comparison to city parochial schools, the number of administrators per student in government-run schools is 100 times greater.
But my favorite school stat is that government school teachers are twice as likely to send their children to private schools than the public at large.
Choice for them but not for their captive "customers."
It’s getting harder and harder to escape the growing, ‘Gibsmedat’ infestation!
The resident put his kids in a private school : University of Chicago Laboratory Schools , then in DC - Sidwell Friends private school.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan put his kids in the same private Chicago school. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s children go to the same private school.

But, of course! Nothing but the best for the children of our Ruling Class! ;)
I love it when Freepers post what the Sidwell Kids are getting for lunch each day, while the rest of our kids eat whatever FLOTUS Mooch deems appropriate!
Last time I visited Chicago in 2006, Bogan looked like a prison and is a technical school or something.
Adult ghosts vote in Chicongo, so it makes sense that younger ghosts would also go to skool there.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
My dad went to Crane HS, and won a full scholarship to the University of Chicago.
Some years back, he told me I wouldn’t survive a stroll through his old neighborhood.
It’s true. We used to take the bus down 79th Street to rainbow Beach through Black P Stone Rangers territory. They would throw cans with rocks in them when they saw a white person on the bus. One of my friends got hit- no A/C on the buses then- the window was open. But we had to go to the beach!

Back then they used rocks. Now they use guns.
These were probably junior wannabes- the Rangers had plenty of guns even then.
If they were really serious about resolving this, they might try to stop the street rats from killing one another. IMO, “Black Lives DO NOT Matter” to those people UNTIL it hits them in the pocket book.
If you look at graph of the average, inflation adjusted K-12 spending per student in the US from 1970 until 2010 it looks like 40 degree graph.
1970- $50K 2010- $150K Three times the amount for flat or decreasing performance.
Although given the fact that we've flooded the schools with the children of illiterate Latin American peasants and the Federally subsidized feral bastards of the single welfare moms, the fact that they're almost flat is somewhat amazing.
