    Home - Chicago - The impact of Springfield’s selective-enrollment bill on Chicago Public Schools

    The impact of Springfield’s selective-enrollment bill on Chicago Public Schools

    The impact of Springfield’s selective-enrollment bill on Chicago Public Schools

    Illinois lawmakers are advancing a bill that would prevent Chicago Public Schools officials from making major changes to selective-enrollment programs until a fully elected school board takes control in early 2027. The proposed legislation comes in response to a declaration by Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Board of Education that it would refocus resources to neighborhood schools, sparking concerns about the future of selective schools.

    The bill, sponsored by State Rep. Margaret Croke, initially aimed to protect selective schools from closure until 2027. However, after lobbying efforts, the bill has been amended to extend that protection to all CPS schools. Croke stated that the bill is a response to the Board of Education’s resolution and the belief that decisions should be made by a fully elected board.

    Critics of the bill have raised concerns about potential unintended consequences, including the impact on admission standards for selective schools. The bill would prevent CPS from changing the standards for admission to any selective school, potentially hindering efforts to diversify these programs. Some families worry that the enrollment process could be watered down, affecting the selectivity of these schools.

    Additionally, the bill would restrict the board’s authority to make budget decisions that result in a disproportionate decrease in funds allocated to selective schools. This could impact the district’s efforts to redistribute resources based on student needs in different schools.

    While supporters of the bill argue that decisions should be left to an elected board, critics warn that it could perpetuate racial and socioeconomic inequities in selective schools. The debate over the bill reflects broader discussions about the future of education funding and resource allocation in Chicago Public Schools.

    As the bill moves forward in the legislative process, stakeholders on all sides continue to voice their concerns and perspectives on the potential implications for CPS and its students.
