Editorial: Therese Boyle for Chicago School Board in District 9B

Therese Boyle has Chicago Public Schools in her blood. Literally. She worked more than three decades for CPS, retiring in 2019.

Over at @acitythatworks: Only about a third of Chicago homicides end in an arrest and prosecution. But for non-fatal shootings, those numbers are even worse: on average, we prosecute just 9% of non-fatal shootings.

Damn. Mayor Johnson just pissed off an entire room of South Shore residents, South Chicago residents, organizers, and activists.

Chicago deserves city government that gets things done faster and is more accountable to the people it serves. We should empower aldermen to fight for their neighborhoods without letting one ward stop progress for the entire city. It’s time to ask whether our government is built for the Chicago of today.

It would be easy to pile on - but honestly at this point I hope to see @ChicagosMayor start engaging with any and all resources in the city to ensure he can get some people in place quickly and put together some semblance of a budget. This is not good for Chicagoans.

New: Chicago’s budget director Annette Guzman is leaving City Hall, the mayor’s press office confirmed this evening. This comes days after then interim CFO Steven Mahr left the administration and just before the city’s budget season kicks into gear.

Over the weekend, experts at the University of Chicago Crime Lab outlined four key public safety priorities for next Mayor in the @chicagotribune. Today, they're publishing a deeper review of the evidence over at @acitythatworks.

To give you a sense of how heavy a lift it would be for this $150 million CPS plan to happen - 3/5ths of the general assembly would either have to vote for a CPS-only bill, or vote for about $700million+ in supplemental funding for all school districts, out of fairness.
Paris Schutz@paschutzJul 31
Gov Pritzker on the Chicago Board of Education passing a CPS budget that assumes $150 million in more money from the state, after Speaker Welch vowed to CTU to find $$. "The money simply doesn't exist right now. Apparently Speaker Welch has a plan. I look forward to seeing it."

This is insane. We need people who can make hard decisions based in reality. Appeasing today makes the problem worse tomorrow. School board election can’t come soon enough.
Paris Schutz@paschutzJul 30
BREAKING: The Chicago Board of Education votes to approve an amended budget plan that closes a $732 million gap partially by relying on $150 million in additional future funding from the state, over the objections of the CPS CEO who warned it would not be a balanced budget, and that it could lead to midyear cuts and layoffs.
