The Latest: CPS blasts governor's school funding plan
The head of Chicago Public Schools says Gov. Bruce Rauner's education funding plan is a continuation of a "reverse Robin Hood" education policy where rich districts get more and poor districts get less.
CPS CEO Forrest Claypool told reporters Tuesday that the state's largest school district stands to lose $74 million under the plan, something that will disproportionately affect minority children.
Gov. Bruce Rauner has released figures breaking down how much each Illinois school district would receive next year under his education funding plan.
Board officials say districts that lose money under the plan have decreased enrollment and fewer students living in poverty.
