Maybe they could auction off some of the drugs and weapons they’ve seized on school premises..

Probably bring in quite a few million.

Their employee to student ratio is fewer than ten students per employee.

All that matters is that they don’t have any pension cuts.

CPS officials said 99 percent of the teacher cuts are due to shifting student enrollment.
Yeah, shifting to the Chicago cemeteries.

When conservatives do it, it’s evil. When libs do it, it’s necessary.

Another shining example that Socialism - the art of spending other people’s money - doesn’t work.

As with the federal government, AND the State governments,
“You put in one, and i put in two, and when you retire, you have three!’

Most of the retirement funds have been heavily tied to European markets, which as you have heard, are doing just so fine and dandy this year.

My wife just retried from a school district in Texas after teaching science for 27 years. She would go back for the kids but the administrators are the reason she left. Why would any retired teacher risk life, limb, and financial security to be bossed around by the 'fad of the month' club?

With hundreds of thousands of veteran teachers added to the pension rolls every year, this is the only way it can play out.
They are missing thousands of students whose parents sacrifice to send them to private school or choose to home school.

The kids don’t go to school anyway, do they?

And for those who do and actually want to learn, at least they won’t be indoctrinated.

“Yeah, shifting to the Chicago cemeteries.”

If any one of those “running” Chicago had a shred of decency, the’d off themselves, starting with Ram Emanuel!

“Last month, the Chicago Board of Education approved the sale of up to $1.16 billion of bonds for the cash-strapped system.”

Otherwise known as pi$$ing into the wind!
