More Money for Chicago Schools, Police Oversight Tension, and Environmental Restoration
Manage episode 418686676 series 2893344
Earlier this week representatives from the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools were together in Springfield to lobby the state for increased education funding. CPS schools are currently missing out on over $1 billion based on the state’s evidence-based funding formula. WTTW’s City Hall reporter Heather Cherone and author Arionne Nettles break down the significance of this joint move. Plus, we continue grading Mayor Brandon Johnson’s first year, discuss ongoing tensions between Chicago Police and its oversight agency, and look at the Bears’ regular season schedule.
Good News: Farmers markets, Argyle Block Party & American Writers Festival
