Guidelines & Priorities for FY 2022 Budget
CPS Definitions of Equity and Racial Equity Equity means that each student, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or socioeconomic status will have access to the opportunities, resources, and support they need to attain their full potential. Racial equity means the absence of institutional and structural barriers experienced by people based on race or color, that impede access, opportunities, and results. Achieving racial equity requires proactive and continuous investment in communities of color, who have endured centuries of systemic oppression. CPS is committed to dismantling structures rooted in white privilege, to hearing and elevating underrepresented voices, and recognizing and eliminating bias. 13

Budget Assumptions for School Year 2021-22 ● CPS will operate a predominantly in-person learning model, with most to all students in-person full-time. ○ There may be a limited remote option for some students. ● There will be COVID-associated costs next year (e.g. ongoing infection control management). ● Things may change given public health conditions.
Budget Resource Conversations How should CPS use its resources to ● understand academic and social-emotional/mental health needs following the COVID-19 pandemic and ● provide students with individualized support to accelerate recovery, progress, and success What’s the problem to solve or opportunity to pursue? What’s the use of resources to address it? FY 21 Example: Increase underrepresented students’ college matriculation rates. Invest in CRLS early college/dual enrollment program expansion.
