Only one of the 324 schools to be tested still awaits results, but 112 failed initial lead tests.

Chicago Public Schools still await results from 23 other schools tested this spring.

Protesters at the Board of Education backed three aldermanic proposals to raise a total of $400 million.

Alfonso de Hoyos y Acosta said failing fountains are "decommissioned" with "various remediation plans."

Touting CPS' academic gains, Mayor Emanuel said Gov. Rauner should "embrace the children" of Chicago.

Onahan had four fountains fail, but CPS said the water may have been turned off before testing.

"Clout much?" CTU protester yells, regarding governor's efforts to get his daughter into Payton in 2008.

The controversial plan received a mixed reaction from residents, Ald. Burnett said this week. 

Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa's bid to reinstate the corporate head tax was instantly derailed.

A uniform update and other cultural changes have some calling the new Orozco principal "a dictator." 

The school is the second Pilsen elementary school to test positive for elevated lead levels. 

The district said it had tested all 324 schools built before new lead standards took effect in 1986.

CPS CEO Forrest Claypool said state money helped keep per-pupil funding steady for next year.

Minimal investments and "branding" can spur enrollment at underused schools, two aldermen said.

"We're leveraging the wealthy communities to help the non-wealthy communities," Ald. Burnett said.
