Chicago Public Schools To Lay Off 1458 Employees Due To Spending $638 Million On Illegal Immigrants

[Bunchy Carter]

Parents, teachers and school administrators are shocked to learn that over 430 teachers and 1,000 staff members are being laid off to lower Chicago’s budget deficit.
.
Many are now questioning the city and state leadership who stood behind illegal immigrants and spent over $630 million supporting them.
.
CBS News Chicago Investigators sat down with interim CPS CEO Macquline King Thursday for a one-on-one discussion about the district’s looming budget woes and her plans to navigate them.
.
With a $734 million budget shortfall, King said she was looking at all options to help fill the funding gap for the nation’s third largest public school system, including Mayor Brandon Johnson’s previously floated idea of a high-interest, short-term loan.
.
The Chicago Teachers Union responded to the layoffs in a post on their Facebook page, calling the layoffs part of a “cruel cycle” and blaming Gov. JB Pritzker and Illinois lawmakers for refusing “to fully fund schools according to their own Evidence-Based Funding formula.”

And this.

That big beautiful bill cuts $350 billion from the department of education and I believe I also read somewhere that 42,000 k-12 teachers would lose their jobs because of this as well.
