They need some help with math in Chicago

Remember Chicago? Remember how they made their budget based on class sizes of 30? Remember how they closed 50 schools? Remember how that was supposed to do a lot to close the budget gap, but then they cut $94.5 million anyway?

The Chicago Public Schools administration has been continuing to say that it has cut Central Office spending by $600 million since 2011. That's kind of amazing, since the Central Office's budget this year is $233 million, an increase from $200 million.
