What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Chicago Public Schools enrollment has fallen by another 11,500 students, reaching approximately 304,700. This figure represents the lowest enrollment level in more than two decades. The decline resumed last year and continued into the fall, despite a moratorium on school closures being in place through the current school year.

CPS officials attribute the enrollment decline to several factors, including local and global declining birth rates, families moving to the suburbs, and immigrant population declines spurred by President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation policies.
