More @ChiPubSchools/@chicagosmayor budget analysis. What they say: more $ for schools! What their budget does: CUTS $100k+ for 200+ schools. CUTS $500k+ from 43 schools. Mayor, put your promises in writing - in an enforceable contract. #FairContractNow
@ChiPubSchools @chicagosmayor It gets worse. For social workers, they claim they're adding 35. But the budget and position files tell a different story. The 6/19 position file shows they had 470 SW positions. But For FY20, the budget shows 458 social worker positions - a CUT of 12 jobs.
@ChiPubSchools @chicagosmayor All this while the TIF slush fund is UP $180M over last year, to more than $840M. At least $200M of that is coming right out of revenues that SHOULD be going to schools. But @ChiPubSchools has allocated less than half that - $97M - to the FY20 budget.
@ChiPubSchools @chicagosmayor And profits for bankers - what CPS pays for debt service - is $700M, over 12% higher than last year. When will the mayor stop privileging bankers over school workers and students? When will she refinance - and cut this debt like she did on the city side?
@ChiPubSchools @chicagosmayor Spin versus hard numbers. More governing by press release claims that just don't match facts. The ONLY way to force @chicagosmayor to keep her promise for real equity and educational justice is with an enforceable labor contract with the CTU. #FairContractNow
