Report: Chicago Public School System Has A Major Corruption Problem

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Nearly $900,000 stolen from two Chicago high schools.

Lying CPS employees who skirted the system to get their own kids into the best schools.

School administrators who misclassified dropouts to make their schools look better.

And a CPS administrator who “engaged in questionable conduct” when a nearly $100 million contract was in the process of being awarded.

Those are among the damning findings in report being released Monday by the Chicago Board of Education’s Inspector General Nicholas Schuler.

The annual report says that malfeasance was rampant in some CPS schools.

The grand failure of public education. Isn't long past time to separate school from state? Hopefully, a future U.S. Attorney will see Chicago's public schools for what they are: a racketeering enterprise engaged in mail and wire fraud.
