Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez is offering a preview of next year’s budget, highlighting a major shift in how school dollars will be allocated.The new budget, Martinez said, will focus on equity rather than headcount."I am an optimist. I do believe that the results we're showing in our district are very clear," Martinez said. "We're showing that the investment, when it's made, we get results.
"Schools that have had historically rich elective programming, in addition to a very low poverty rate, those schools are definitely tighter," he said.While Martinez did not provide a specific budget number, he indicated it will be similar to this year’s CPS budget of $9.4 billion. The current budget also includes a $400 million deficit, which Martinez hopes lawmakers in Springfield will address.
