RE: Schools are not poorly funded.

Not the right forum for this conversation.

I said schools in low income neighborhoods are underfunded. Chicago is a city of great wealth and it's HS schools produce some of the best educated students in the country.

" The state's school funding formula shows Chicago Public Schools receives about $1 billion less than what Illinois considers adequate funding. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of state money each year service the district's massive debt rather than provide for classroom needs. "

You can be sure that shortfall falls on the low income communities.
