CPS Under Congressional Fire: A U.S. House committee has subpoenaed Chicago Public Schools CEO Macquline King to testify June 10 on “attacks on parental rights, inappropriate content, and legal abuses,” escalating a fight over Title IX, Civil Rights Act compliance, and student privacy as federal scrutiny continues. Budget Pressure in Chicago Schools: CPS is also facing a massive deficit—around $732.5M to $735M—driving staffing cut plans and intensifying conflict with parents and staff. Illinois Fiscal Mood Turns Cautious: State budget analysts trimmed revenue projections slightly, citing slowing sales tax collections, rising unemployment, and inflation worries ahead of final budget talks. Courts and Liability Watch: The U.S. Supreme Court let a lawsuit proceed against a major freight broker after an Illinois crash, a ruling that could reshape trucking accountability. Public Trust Theme: Wisconsin signed an ethics order banning state workers from profiting from insider information—an ethics story echoing Illinois’ own governance debates.
