‘The amount of money we’re talking about involves a deficit of well north of $750 million, may be as much as a billion dollars’

CHICAGO (WLS) — The nation’s fourth-largest school system is perched on a financial cliff, and will fall if something is not done soon, according to the Civic Federation.

The budget watchdog group released a comprehensive report detailing the dire financial situation Chicago Public Schools faces, especially next year.

“The amount of money we’re talking about involves a deficit of well north of $750 million, may be as much as a billion dollars,” Civic Federation President Joe Ferguson said.

Ferguson says the report is a reality check for CPS’ new hybrid-elected school board: 21 members will be sworn in on Wednesday. Ferguson warns the board the financial situation is so serious, a state financial takeover is a possibility as a last resort.

“If you put guardrails on the system fiscally, I think that opens the door to the state saying, ‘OK, let’s reexamine some of the inequitable kind of funding practices from the state,'” Ferguson said.

Ferguson says CPS cannot afford even the minimum cost of a new teachers contract. He says revenue ideas from the Chicago Teachers Union, like a short term loan or using reserve funds, would result in downgrades and tip the district into insolvency. Besides the state fully funding CPS, Ferguson calls for more revenue sources through taxes and spending cuts.

“We hired when we didn’t have money; we expanded when we didn’t have money,” Ferguson said.

While student enrollment went down, budgets increased by 50% during the past decade. CTU argues more spending was necessary.

“The level of spending at CPS is finally starting to catch up to the level of need of their students; we still have a long way to go,” CTU Director of Research Pavlon Jankov said. Read More at ABC 7 Chicago!

Spread the love In the quest to combat cancer, a disease that remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, the medical community continually seeks innovative and alternative treatments. Here’s an overview of several unconventional approaches currently under investigation or discussion: Ivermectin and FenbendazoleIvermectin, traditionally an antiparasitic drug, has been studied for its potential antitumor effects. Research has shown that it can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and modulate pathways like EGFR/ERK/Akt/NF-κB, potentially reversing drug resistance in cancer cells. Similarly, fenbendazole, another antiparasitic, has garnered attention for its potential in cancer treatment. There are anecdotal reports and some preclinical studies suggesting it might inhibit cancer cell growth. Both drugs have been part of protocols like the Joe Tippens Protocol, where they are combined with other supplements and dietary changes, showing some promise in case studies. Tata Institute’s Breakthrough in Cancer Drug DevelopmentThe Tata Institute has been at the forefront of cancer research, developing innovative drugs. One notable breakthrough involves targeting cancer cell metabolism with drugs that can selectively kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Although specific details on the drug are sparse due to ongoing research, this approach aims at disrupting cancer’s energy supply, a novel strategy in cancer therapy. Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs)Small extracellular vesicles are nanometer-sized vesicles released by cells that can transfer molecular information between cells, including from cancer cells to healthy ones, influencing tumor progression. Research into sEVs focuses on their potential as biomarkers for early cancer detection and as carriers for therapeutic…
