Chicago Public Schools officials have unveiled a $9.5 billion budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year that includes more than $700 million in federal COVID-19 relief dollars to help fund early childhood programs, teacher positions and grants for under-utilized schools.The new proposal, which is the first under current CPS CEO Pedro Martinez, will increase school-level funding to $4.
While CPS has touted an overall increase in its school-level funding, parents, community leaders and some city officials havethat have seen declining enrollment, calling on the district to do more to ensure students are getting the education and support they need. CPS is planning to provide $50 million in equity grants — an increase of $14 million — to help fund 238 under-enrolled schools, as well as another $5 million to help “provide stability and limit budget reductions” at schools that see more severe enrollment declines.
CPS said it has allocated about 45% of the $2.8 billion it received through that fund over the last three fiscal years, and will spend another $730 million in the latest budget. That includes: $100 million for early childhood programs above what is funded through state grants; $45 million for instructional coaching and school-based professional learning; and $96 million for school-based operational positions.
