Woods  \nCHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS  \nBudget 2024/2025  \nPedro Martinez  \nChief Executive Officer  \nBogdana Chkoumbova  \nChief Education Officer  \nMiroslava Mejia Krug  \nChief Financial Officer  \nMichael Sitkowski  \nChief Budget Officer  \nDear Friends and Colleagues,  \nFour years ago, when our schools were shuttered by a worldwide pandemic, we knew there would be profound effects on our students’ education. What we did not know was how strong Chicago’s children would emerge from that very challenging time.  \nThe gains students at all grade levels achieved during the 2023-24 school year are a testament to their resilience, and to the talent and dedication of our District’s educators and staff. Our youngest learners saw their literacy proficiency quadruple, while our middle-grades students ranked \\#1 among large school districts for reading recovery since the pandemic, and \\#3 in recovery for reading and math combined. Meanwhile, our Class of 2024 graduates earned more than $2 billion in college scholarships, with nearly 6,000 of these students completing high school having already earned college credit.  \nThe FY2025 budget, which totals $9 .9 billion, protects many of the investments that have propelled these impressive gains. It includes $149 million in additional school-level funding when compared to last year, and doubles down on investments that are driving student growth, including learning acceleration, extended learning time, and social and behavioral supports. The FY2025 budget also increases support for our priority populations, including our English Learners, our special education students, and our Students in Temporary Living Situations (STLS) . And because every child deserves a safe, supportive learning environment, this budget provides $38 million in funding for programs and resources that prioritize not only students’ physical safety, but their mental and emotional wellbeing.  \nThe above is a high-level summary of what CPS’ FY2025 budget will do. But the real story is how we gothere.  \nThis year, CPS dramatically changed the way we allocate funding for our schools. We introduced a new budget model that moves fully away from Student-Based Budgeting (SBB), and into an era that is rooted in educational equity. In other words, funding decisions no longer revolve around the number of students in a school, but rather on the unique needs of the students in that school.  \nFor the first time in CPS history, every school now has a guaranteed set of positions and resources that are centrally funded by the District. These include an assistant principal, a clerk, and at least one school counselor, along with an established number of core and holistic teachers. Additional funding is then provided to schools based on our District’s Opportunity Index, which uses a variety of factors to determine the unique needs of each community.  \nBy allocating a baseline of resources to every school, then layering additional supports based on the needs of those children furthest from opportunity, CPS is setting a standard that ensures all schools can offer a high-quality education, no matter their size, type, or location.  \nThere is much to celebrate in our FY2025 budget, and in the path we took to arrive at this place. But we must also acknowledge the very real, very significant financial concerns that are facing our District, nowand in the coming years.  \nOur challenge this year was to close a budget gap of $505 million, which we accomplished by rigorously identifying efficiencies, maximizing grant funding, and reducing spending across the District’s Central Office and citywide departments. This work allowed us to balance the FY2025 budget and protect school funding for next year. But it is only the start of a troubling financial forecast.  \nWithout a significant increase in rev","cbCaih1SbERKvltA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih1SbERKvltA","pdf",7916624,310,"English","# FY2025 Budget Overview\n## Student Achievement and Investments\n## New Central Funding Model and Opportunity Index\n## Financial Challenges and Five-Year Outlook","[{\"question\":\"What is the total FY2025 budget amount and what key additions does it include?\",\"answer\":\"The FY2025 budget totals $9.9 billion.
