CPS School Choice

 

 

 

When a parent chooses a school for their children they want the best education possible. They don't want their children poorly educated, bullied, beat-up, or worse.  According to WBEZ news African American parents, more than other parents, do not send their children to the neighborhood school. Also many CPS teachers do not send their children to the Chicago Public Schools.

Even if Mayor Brandon Johnson is successful in getting the state of Illinois to satisfactorily fund the regular CPS neighborhood schools many parents will still want school choice for their children.
