Budget: Could Central Office Be Cut 40 Percent?

Written by Isla Reeve on June 29, 2011.

Teacher Sophia Du Brul writes that it’s central office spending — all $1.6 billion a year of it — that is the real problem, not teacher salaries or school-level spending .  She says that cutting just 40 percent of that spending, which makes up 43 percent of the CPS budget, would fix the $700 million budget hole.  But is that right, and if so what programs would you cut that would be big enough to make a real difference?
