Chicago Public Schools

Changes big and small will greet students when they return to school on Tuesday.

Here's what $20 million will buy you at Chicago Public Schools.

Schools will get about 7 percent less for each student this year as compared to last, officials said.

Also on the list of potential projects is a $20 million annex for Ebinger Elementary in Edison Park.

The 1,480 students at Morgan Park High School will find new lockers Sept. 6 in the annex and elsewhere.

Principal Tim Riff said the budget cuts meant the school could not hire another middle school teacher.

Water at 113 schools throughout the city has tested positive for lead, officials said.

Seventh- and eighth-grade students would have a new home at the Ag School, according to a WBEZ report.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel defends property tax hike as "what's right."

Just before school starts again, the museums are letting in CPS kids free.

"We have a generous raise on the table," said CPS CEO Forrest Claypool, who expects to reach a deal.

Marshall Middle School is relocating to Roosevelt High School to create a 7th-12th grade experience.

The Local School Council announced its decision Thursday night.

Chicago Public Schools also announced three schools paid for their own testing.

The district said it had a 93.4 percent attendance rate, but its data have been suspect in the past.
