Chicago Public School System enrollment dips below 400,000 for first time in years

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Chicago Public Schools’ official enrollment dipped below 400,000 for the first time in years, the district announced Tuesday, having lost nearly 4,000 total students from last year.

CPS reported its enrollment, counted on the 20th day of school at 396,683, or about 3,800 fewer students than the 400,545 enrolled in the 2013-14 school year at every kind of school. Ten years ago, the district had nearly 427,000 students enrolled across neighborhood, charter and contract schools.
It appears less people are moving to Chicago to enjoy the benefits of one party political rule. The great moments of Blue America.
