The district said it expects its enrollment to grow for a second consecutive year, a stunning turnaround after more than a decade of decline that has been driven by newly arriving migrant families. It puts enrollment at 328,000, up from 323,300 in fall 2023. But with those increases, CPS has taken on the costs of serving students with greater needs, such as 10,000 more English learners and 4,000 more students with disabilities in the last year.
The migrants sure are expensive....
