Mayor Johnson Demands State Action for CPS | Chicago News
Description
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is throwing down the gauntlet, pledging a record $1 billion from city funds to shield CPS from deep cuts and secure a new teachers contract — but he’s also leveling blame at Springfield, demanding the state finally step up and fully fund public education. While the Chicago Board of Education approved a state-reliant budget, Johnson insists this isn’t just a city problem, calling on lawmakers to pass the $150 million education boost already in the plan. With veto session looming and Speaker Welch promising to fight for it, Johnson’s own political future hangs in the balance as he pushes for partnership — not just promises — from the state.
