🔻“This is what it looks like when you burn a district down,’ said Marguerite Roza, director of the Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University. “It is a level of dysfunction that feels beyond destabilizing, enough to make people lose confidence in the system.’”
🔻Soon after the federal government approved a historic $190 billion in covid relief funds for schools, experts warned school districts across the country that it would be risky to use the one-time funding for ongoing expenses…Chicago used its whopping $2.8 billion allocation, which it was required to spend by September 2024, to add nearly 8,000 positions to its workforce, budget documents show.
🔻The district has resisted even modest staff reductions, but also had no clear plan for how to maintain that payroll once the covid relief money was gone. It also has promised not to close any schools, although enrollment in the district has fallen significantly over the past two decades.
🔻Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a former teacher who is closely aligned with the Chicago Teachers Union, says he won’t tolerate cuts to the schools staff, which he refers to as laying off “Brown and Black women…” the mayor has pressured the schools to consider a high-interest, short-term $300 million loan that some call irresponsible, because it shifts the problem to next year and adds interest.
🔻In another racially charged statement, Johnson dismissed the “so-called fiscally responsible stewards” who have criticized his loan plan, comparing them to supporters of the Confederacy. “The argument was you can’t free Black people because it would be too expensive,” the mayor said this month. “They said that it would be fiscally irresponsible for this country to liberate Black people. And now, you have detractors making the same argument of the Confederacy when it comes to public education in this system.”
🔻[CTU President Stacy] Davis Gates said the city should spend more on schools, as should the federal government. The massive covid relief money, she said, is “the new baseline for support for public education” and should be maintained. But there is no discussion in Washington of another huge schools package, and the city of Chicago is facing its own budget crisis.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gaax_MDWQAAwKpw.jpg)
