Our city’s future prosperity depends on the quality of the education our young people receive today.
5 is only 28 percent.6 8 of CPS high school students aspire to earn at least a 4-year college degree, 75% but only 17% are predicted to do so WHAT IS EDUCATION EQUITY? — 9 Equity in education means that every student has a fair chance to get a high-quality public education. It is based on fair and just access to high-quality learning opportunities and resources for all students, enabling them to complete high school prepared for college or careers and lifelong learning. students, regardless of circumstances. It means leveling the playing poverty, race, language or learning challenges—do not prevent them from reaching their potential.

WHY NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS? 11 A school system built on expanding choice increases burdens on the least-privileged families and students and does not always guarantee a better education. Almost 50 percent of Chicago public high school students attend neighborhood high schools. In Chicago—a city of neighborhoods—neighborhood high schools play an essential role as “anchor institutions.” 11 10

WHY NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS? 13 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? OUTDATED THINKING AND POLICIES THAT BACKFIRE
– Pedro Noguera, Distinguished Professor of Education, UCLA, and Director, Center for the Study of School Transformation
Expanding school options has inadvertently created a tiered system of public high schools that sorts 15 Expanding school options has created the impression among families that the neighborhood public high school is a last resort. 14
14 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Expanding school options has created a culture of The theory that competition will force neighborhood uncertainty and competition public high schools to improve is yet to be proven. 16 The rapid and largely unplanned opening of new high schools since 2005 also has undermined existing high schools.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? 15 Competition leaves many neighborhood public high schools with a high concentration of students with poverty-related and academic challenges. 19 Chicago needs to ensure that its system of choice does not widen disparities or exacerbate segregation. WHAT IF CHICAGO HAD AN EQUITABLE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN WHICH ALL FAMILIES HAD THE CERTAINTY OF A HIGH-QUALITY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT GUARANTEED ENROLLMENT TO THEIR CHILDREN?
— An equitable education system in Chicago would make high-quality learning experiences, both in and out of the 18 classroom, available to all students.
Throughout the world, greater choice in school systems An equitable education system would ensure that schools would tends to result in increased segregation and social and have the tools, resources and supports to enable their students to succeed. And ultimately, An equitable education system would lay the foundation for a more prosperous and vibrant city.
16 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? FOR CHICAGO TO THRIVE, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS MUST BE ANCHORED BY TOP-QUALITY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.

24 ILLINOIS HAS A LONG WAY TO GO
— Its school funding formula ranks 49th in equity and 50th in adequacy.25 A study released in 2015 by the Education Trust says that Illinois school districts with the greatest number of students in poverty receive substantially fewer state and 26 percent less. The study also says that school districts with the largest enrollments of minority students receive 15 percent less per student than those districts serving the fewest.27 Illinois relies too heavily on local property taxes to fund public education, causing a dramatic and unfair imbalance in income communities to fund schools adequately. Illinois also lacks adequate resources to meet the needs of its students and schools. To change this, Illinois needs to explore generating revenue by increasing the state income tax, which is among the lowest in the Midwest.
To transform schools and improve student outcomes, we must change state funding for education. After all, to invest in with greater growth in educational attainment also enjoy greater growth in productivity and worker compensation.
32 SOLUTION 2: POLICY 2a. Put a hold on the opening and closing of public high schools until there is an open, inclusive, citywide planning process that considers neighborhood needs.
CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS NOW: A FRAMEWORK FOR LOCAL PROSPERITY — Chicago Neighborhoods Now is a structure created by the Chicago Department of Planning and Development to guide investment in neighborhoods across the city. Rather than focusing on 77 16 planning areas using commercial and physical boundaries— expressways, rivers and rail lines—to examine common needs and interests among neighborhoods. These natural boundaries create a framework for citywide planning that also accounts for a local context, contributing to greater understanding of how “the built environment contributes to local prosperity and where additional planning and investment are needed.”
framework to convene community planning meetings in each of the 16 areas. These meetings include city planners, elected attending the meetings share progress on existing plans and generate new ideas to be added to the new plan. Ideas for investing in each planning area will be documented in a Chicago Neighborhoods Now action plan, which will be published sometime in 2016. This planning process is an opportunity for neighborhood public high schools to be included strategically in community planning and capital investment to repair or update school buildings and grounds. Chicago Neighborhoods Now began as Chicago Neighborhoods 2015: Assets, Plans and Trends, a research project convened by The Chicago Community Trust with the city planning department, LISC Chicago, the Metropolitan Planning Council and DePaul
