Are Taxpayers Due a Refund?

Hahaha.....just kidding:

• After growing slightly for two years mostly due to an influx of migrant students, Chicago Public Schools’ enrollment dropped significantly this school year, continuing a long-term slide.

  As of Sept. 15, the 20th day of school, CPS had about 316,000 students, down by about 3%. The percentage of Latino students in CPS dropped, from 47.3% to 46.4%, while the percentage for other groups rose or remained the same.

  “Enrollment decreased across the majority of grade levels and most student groups, including [students] identifying as Black, Latinx, economically disadvantaged, English language learners and students in temporary living situations,” Interim CPS CEO/Supt. Macquline King said at Thursday’s board meeting.

We're also told reading and math scores dropped. 

So less students and less accomplishments.

QUICK! Better raise property taxes. Gotta keep all the underutilized schools open, wasting money.
