CTU member on CPS budget vote: 'It's kind of a disaster' | ChicagoLIVE

The Chicago Board of Education approved an amended Chicago Public Schools budget July 31 in an 11-7 vote that relies on $150 million in additional state funding not yet allocated. CPS warned the board-approved budget could jeopardize the district's ability to secure short-term financing needed for payroll and school year preparation. A Chicago Teachers Union member characterized the vote as "a disaster."
