Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform's analysts have monitored the Chicago Public Schools budget for more than 20 years. Our goal is to dig beneath the rhetoric to understand what lies behind the numbers and share this information with the public. We advocate for equity so that every student in every school gets his or her fair share of funding, and for CPS to push as many dollars as possible to the school level, giving principals and local school councils authority over those dollars.
