Laid Off CPS Teachers Search for Jobs
Chicago Public Schools has sent pink slips to more than 2,000 teachers and other staff to help balance the $6.4 billion budget it sends to its board on Wednesday. Some laid off teachers got a chance to be rehired at a recent CPS jobs fair. A couple of weeks ago, art teacher Sunny Neater-Dubow got canned from her job at the Multicultural Arts High School. But a month before that, she says she saw her position posted with a tweak.
CPS Balances Budget on 1st Day for Some
CPS has balanced its budget for this year, but it’s been forced to drain its reserves to do it. Chicago Public Schools Chief Ron Huberman said the school district used all $190 million of its reserves this year. It also increased class sizes from 31 to 33 students and made budget cuts. They’re expected to layoff about 800 classroom teachers and 400 classroom support personnel. Officials say the state still owes CPS $236 million in state funding from last year, and it is counting on that money to replenish its reserves. Meanwhile, It’s back to school time for some CPS students. Year-round schools, also known as Track E schools, start back up Monday.
