Chicago Public Schools

Payton was the toughest selective-enrollment to get into for the fourth year in a row, according to CPS.

Chance urged wealthy Chicagoans to join him in helping the city's schools.

It is not a CPS priority to fix schools "for Latinos, for the poor," one Juarez mother said. 

The Grammy Award-winning rapper said he told Gov. Bruce Rauner "take our kids off the table" on Friday.

On Twitter, Chance called the back-and-forth between the elected officials "embarassing."

Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th) said he's had no contact from a charter school about opening in Lincoln Square.

"Take our kids off the table," artist tells Rauner; governor describes "good exchange."

Judge Franklin Valderrama set a hearing in the case for April 19.

All decision letters will be sent out from CPS headquarters on Friday, officials said.

Pathways In Education was rebuffed in 2015 but is eyeballing Lincoln Square again in new application.

Wary of making the school a Taft satellite, Dunning parents are pushing for an independent high school.

The Old Town school is also closing in on a larger $25,000 goal through a GoFundMe page.

"You want to capture the kids who are sneaking a listen to their iPods in the back of the room."

School will end 20 days early unless more money is found, Chicago Public Schools officials said.

The cuts total $31 million, even after CPS restored $15 million to some schools.
