CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools officials are considering a new $75 million high school for the city’s South Side neighborhood despite lagging enrollment other nearby schools.
CPS officials are collecting public feedback on a proposal to erect a high school in the Englewood neighborhood in the district’s Network 11, home to the shuttered Englewood High School and several others that have struggled to attract students, the Chicago Tribune reports.
About 2,300 students were eligible to attend Robeson High School in Englewood this school year, but only a mere 86 students from the area opted to enroll. Other schools, like Harper High School in West Englewood, face the same problem with only about 10 percent of the 1,166 students eligible to enroll opting to do so.
By “considering” the board is actually working out which of their buddies are getting the construction contracts and how much of their cut they’ll have to give up to city councillors and the Mayor.
The education business is not about educating kids, the students are just props that they use to extract money form taxpayers.
sure, give the animals a shiny new cage. they’ll fill it with shit in a few short years.
After this passes. Count the new cars in the school board parking lot.
Enrollment decline NOW, but wait until all those new mideastern “refugees” and their teenage wives start breeding. I hope the new school is equipped with foot wash sinks!
Some alderman needs to unload the land, he bought for a song, a some school board members owe some “favors” to the unions and contractors.
“Ya can’t say dis is about jus’ a high school, cuz it ain’t. It’s bigga dan dat! Duh Burs!”
Make sure they use steel doors on the classrooms
and bars on the windows. Then they can resell the
“school” for a prison at an even larger fee to their
friends.
