Geee Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Daily Caller Officials with the perpetually insolvent Chicago Public School system laid off 356 teachers and nearly 600 school support staffers this week. The teachers and other employees received their pink slips from the taxpayer-funded school district on Monday, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. Chicago’s elementary schools will have 240 fewer teachers this fall. Second City high schools will have 116 fewer teachers. In addition to the 356 teachers, Chicago Public School officials also sacked 362 classroom aides and 221 employees who were security guards and special education aides. Chicago Teachers Union spokeswoman Stacy Davis Gates blamed an ongoing budget battle between Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner in particular for the layoffs.
