Overview: In a recent meeting, the Chicago School Board addressed a range of issues, including a potential federal funding cut, declining school enrollment, and the uncertain future of Epic Academy. The federal government has threatened to withhold $12 million in grant funding unless the district discontinues its Black Student Success Plan and alters its policies supporting transgender and gender non-conforming students. CPS leadership remains steadfast in their commitment to these initiatives, asserting compliance with federal laws and expressing a willingness to seek alternative funding sources if necessary.
