More proof that the Dept. of “Education” is worthless.
You can thank the Chicago Teachers Union for that. They have to go.
Maybe because of dwindling illegal populations?
Considering the state of US public schools, I doubt this is a bad thing.
Less students should mean less staff lower costs.
Exactly.
Pronto.
If they mean student per-capita cost, then maybe yes. But overall net cost should go down - fewer teachers, fewer classrooms open, less material support, reduced energy usage, etc.
Yes it is! Won’t somebody think of the poor illegal kids!?!? And of course, the teacher’s union.
The smart parents got their kids the hell out of the crappy chicango public school system.
The rest either don’t care OR are using the schools as a babysitter.....that’s more common than people might think.
“Maybe because of dwindling illegal populations?”
.
Or is it Spanish spoken overwhelmingly in classrooms?
Most school budgets are roughly estimated by a cost per student.
So when enrollment drops, taxes go down right?
I prefer to view these schools as half full - of idiots.

EVEN *IF* the school were to capacity, the costs ALWAYS increase. The level of admins has GREATLY surpassed the ‘per student’ or even ‘students per teacher’
The “problem”, as always: GOVT

The city of Chicago has lost 100,000 people since the 2020 Census. More importantly, there has been a decline in birth rates among native born white and black Americans. This is far from a Chicago phenomenon but in fact appears to be affecting many nations. It does not matter if the country is a post-Christian nation like most European states, a former Communist nation that has tried to move back to Christianity like Russia, a Communist country like China, and a country rooted in Buddhism or other Eastern religions like Japan.
BTTT
The illegals are either self deporting or their illegal parents are afraid to put their children in school.
