Chicago Public Schools, commonly abbreviated as CPS by local residents and politicians, is a school district that controls over 600 public elementary and high schools in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago Public Schools is currently the third largest school district in the United States, with more than 400,000 students enrolled in the school district. It is led by CEO Arne Duncan. The position of CEO of the CPS was created by Mayor Richard Daley after he successfully convinced the Illinois State Legislature to place CPS under the mayor's control.

Schools CPS is a vast system of primary and secondary schools confined to Chicago's city limits. This system is the second largest employer in Chicago.[1] Some schools are new construction, some appear gothic in architecture, and others are deteriorating from years of lack of attention.

Most schools in the district, being K-8, elementary, middle, or secondary, have attendance boundaries, restricting student enrollment outside of any given residential area.
Attendance boundaries vary in shape and size, depending on how many schools are located within a neighborhood.
For example, Beverly has at least four public K-8 schools: Barnard, Clissold, Vanderpoel, and Sutherland. Each school restricts enrollment based on their individual attendance boundaries. A school may elect to enroll students outside their attendance boundaries if there is space, and or if it has a magnet cluster program. Full magnet schools, such as Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy, are open to student enrollment citywide, provided that applicants meet a level of high academic standards: living near a magnet school does not guarantee admission. Beverly, one of the 77 official community areas, is located on the south side of Chicago, Illinois. ...
Budget The annual budget for the CPS is in excess of $5 billion USD [1].
2005 Teacher layoffs School administrators issued advanced dismissal notices to approximately 1,116 untenured teachers between March and April 2005. A change in the 2003-2007 Agreement Between the Board of Education and Chicago Teachers Union allowed for a clause giving principals the power to dismiss untenured teachers without due process. Principals can login to a website, select a reason from six items listed on a drop-down menu, and click a submit button. At least fifty-percent of the dismissed teachers experienced difficulty controlling their classrooms. Other reasons for dismissal include poor communication skills and rapport with fellow teachers and parents. The fact that principals can simply choose "other" from the drop-down menu is a cause for controversy. This practice is questionable because it conceals reasons for dismissal that are not permissible under the contract, such as budget cuts. Other would mean reassons such as insubordination.
Magnet Schools Receive Preferential Treatment CPS gives preferential treatment to its elite magnet schools. This was documented in a Chicago Sun-Times column on June 8, 2006. Approximately fifty students from Best Practice High School—one of CPS’s poorest performing inner-city schools (only 7.9% of the students passed Illinois’ achievement examination)—planned a demonstration against the genocide in Darfur. The protest was to take place outside the Kluczynski Federal Office Building in downtown Chicago, which houses the offices of both senators from Illinois. The students received permission from the school’s principal and spent weeks planning for the demonstration. Less than a week before the demonstration, a CPS administrator overrode the school’s principal and withdrew permission for the rally. is the 159th day of the year (160th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
