(CHICAGO) A Cook County judge will decide next week whether a Chicago Public Schools lawsuit alleging discriminatory funding by the state will move forward.
If the judge decides the case will not move forward, CPS officials have said they will end this school year 20 days early on June 1, saving the district about $90 million.
The lawsuit contends the state and governor are discriminating against CPS when it comes to funding. The district wants a judge to force the state to release more money.
Parents say they are concerned about funding but also a possible loss of days in the classroom.
The judge’s decision is expected on April 28.
