Chicagoland, run by Democratic politicians for years. Teachers can stop school to strike, but kids can’t have toilet paper…
Via Huffington Post:
In some cash-strapped Chicago schools, no resource can be taken for granted — not even toilet paper.
Nicholas Sposato, alderman of Chicago’s 36th ward, recently held a toilet paper drive for the schools in his community. Amid recent Chicago Public School budget cuts, paying for basic resources has become a burden on some schools, especially since these resources come out of the same budget as teachers’ salaries.
“I’m trying to help out the schools financially, every little bit helps. They might be able to save a teacher’s position if they have everything they need,” Sposato told The Huffington Post over the phone.
