- Abstract
The article discusses the challenges faced by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to reform Chicago Public School (CPS). Topics discussed include factors that hamper Emanuel's reforms including the 1 billion dollar budget deficit for CPS as of January 2014, massive pension liabilities due in 2015, and a belligerent Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) led by Karen Lewis. Also discussed are implications of Emanuel's education policies to district enrollment, job cuts and operating costs.
