Chicago Public Schools (CPS) plans to lay off hundreds of teachers. This action addresses a projected $732 million deficit for the next school year. Federal COVID-19 relief funds, which previously supported staff, have now ended. The district has also seen a significant decline in student enrollment since 2019. CPS officials are exploring other funding sources to mitigate the shortfall.
