Rahm: Chicago students no longer treated as “second-class citizens” in state school funding deal
Chicago Public Schools students will no longer be treated like “second-class citizens” under a new bipartisan school funding deal agreed upon by state legislators, according to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “That clear benchmark has been met,” Emanuel said. More details about the agreement are expected to be revealed Monday, but legislators’ “efforts risked being derailed amid ongoing rancor between Governor Bruce Rauner and Mayor Rahm Emanuel as well as pressure from unions,” according to the Tribune.
