Spreading Resources Too Thin 2014

Infographic on school expansion showing CPS opened 21,281 new seats from Fall 2012 - Fall 2014.

This was shared with the unelected BOE in July 2014. Printable version of Infographic here.

And now... from a weekly email blast sent on Friday, June 8, 2018:

More charters want to open at CPS...say it isn’t so!

The new charter proposals for the 2019-20 school year can be found at this CPS webpage. The proposed schools would add a total of 6620 seats when at capacity. CPS’ enrollment dropped this past fall by almost 11,000 students.
