Several alderpeople questioned and criticized the proposed school-level cuts in CPS' fiscal year 2023 budget during a hearing Thursday. A total of 177 schools are losing at least $100,000 in funding.
During Thursday’s hearing, Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez said CPS is forcing principals to choose which programs and positions to keep or cut.
According to district officials, CPS is actually spending $130 million more on schools than it did last year. While schools will collectively see a $60 million drop in enrollment-based funding, the district said schools will see increases in special education funding , professional development and district-funded teacher positions .
The district said it has spent around $1.1 billion in federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funding to ensure reasonable class sizes, limited classroom splits and universal access to arts, among other things. CPS expects to spend $600 million in ESSER funding in its 2023 budget. Chkoumbova told alderpeople on Thursday that it will be a “long journey” to finalize and solidify funding for programming and staffing at all schools across the city.
