 CPS closed 50 district schools and cut district budgets by $100 million.
Now they want to open up 31 charters in just two years!
Is this right for the children and communities that CPS is supposed to serve?

Our program is:

Please call the Mayor's Office--
312-744-3300--and tell him to put our kids first by declaring a TIF surplus and moving at least 100 million dollars back to CPS classrooms to restore the cuts!

Don't know about TIFs?
They're tax dollars taken from CPS for private development.
