CPS will transfer students out of charters on the brink of financial collapse
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
A financially-distressed charter network tells WBEZ that Chicago Public Schools is shutting down their schools, at least for the rest of this year.
The district told Aspira leaders late last night (Wednesday) that students will be transitioned out of their schools.
District officials say Aspira’s failure to demonstrate financial sustainability puts the education of students at risk.
Seniors from Aspira’s two high schools will be at today’s (thurs) board of education meeting in a last-ditch effort to save their schools.
They say they are caught in the middle.
