Liberty Nation News: Half-Empty Chicago Schools, a Union, and an Agenda - Liberty Nation News
Chicago's public schools face declining enrollment, with 47 schools operating at less than one-third capacity and 150 half-empty. Despite high costs per student, officials hesitate to close schools due to past backlash and the influence of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), which opposes closures and seeks to expand.
The CTU's resistance to school consolidations and closures has led to financial burdens for the district, including ongoing debt from past school closures. The union's recent contract demands include creating 50 new schools, despite existing underutilization, contributing to rising costs and potentially worsening student outcomes.
