The outlook on finances at CPS is still in critical mode - as if we needed reminding - according to the Sunday edition of the Chicago Tribune. CPS ended the past fiscal year $487 million short in its operating fund and at least $100 million remains as a shortfall for last year.
The alternatives seem to be few. Over the past couple of years, CPS headquarter staff have been trimmed, individual school budgets have been reduced on a number of occasions, school staffing has been cut, and CPS has implemented furlough days to further trim expenses.
So we are down to further cuts and/or/with an infusion of money (from where?). So, one thing remains clear...the work of our charity and others will be even more urgent than ever. Please consider a donation, either online at www.schoolscountcorp.org or by mailing a check payable to Schools Count Corp. and mailing it to Dick Flesher, 14004 John Humphrey Dr., Orland Park, IL 60462. Thank You!
Dick
