Local School Councils (LSCs) are a defining and unique aspect of Chicago Public Schools, playing an important role in school governance and community engagement since 1988. With Chicago’s public schools experiencing significant change, including the transition to an elected school board and the end of federal COVID-19 funding, strong LSCs are more important than ever in ensuring that school-level decisions are grounded in the needs of each community. Our new report shares insights into the important role LSCs have in Chicago.

OPINION | Project 2025 Has Already Infiltrated Seattle Public Schools Seattle’s new “well-resourced schools” plan might sound like progress, but parent Rebekah Binns warns it could lead to overcrowded classrooms, fewer resources, and reduced staffing—all while aligning with Project 2025’s vision for dismantling public education. In our latest op-ed, Binns argues that closing schools and "right-sizing" doesn't truly serve students. Instead, it could create a divided system where private, charter, and religious-affiliated schools thrive while public schools become increasingly under-resourced.

Why is special education funding so important? 🏫💰 Dr. Kevin Rubenstein, President of the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) and Assistant Superintendent of Student Services for Elmhurst Community Unit School District in Illinois, explains: "Special education funding is the second largest portion of federal school funding, right after Title 1. 📊 School districts across the country rely heavily on these dollars. Without them, we’d face significant challenges—such as shortages of teachers 👩🏫👨🏫 and other educators—impacting the support available for students with disabilities nationwide. These funds are absolutely imperative."

This is spot on. When we looked at school district composition in 2022 and noticed the kind of demographic shifts Ellie Klein talks about, we dug a little deeper. Three things struck me. First, in the 10 years that we looked at district secessions, we found that, overwhelmingly, those new districts were generally whiter, wealthier than the remaining districts. Second, about 18.5 million students (about 1/3 of K-12 kids) attended a predominantly same-race/ethnicity school during the 2020-21 school year. And 14% of students attended schools where almost all of the student body was of a single race/ethnicity. Third, our analysis showed that predominantly same-race/ethnicity schools of different races/ethnicities exist in close proximity to one another within districts, but most commonly exist among neighboring districts. For example, about 13,500 predominately same-race/ethnicity schools (about 14 percent of all public K-12 schools) are located within 10 miles of a predominately same-race/ethnicity school of a different race/ethnicity; of these schools, 90 percent have a different same-race/ethnicity pair in a different school district.

It wasn’t until I started working in education policy that it occurred to me to question, why did I grow up in a donut-shaped school district, with the city carved out separately from the county? 🤔It turns out that school district boundaries have a HUGE impact on school segregation, and thanks to a rotten Supreme Court decision 50 years ago, the federal power for addressing this is really limited. But, there’s plenty that states and school districts can do to change this! Check out my new piece, and take a look at how much school districts contribute to segregation in your community. https://lnkd.in/eeGJ4qSg
