Chicago School Drop Mirrors Wisconsin's

Provided by Second City Cop:

Chicago Public Schools enrollment plummeted by 15,000 students this fall compared to last year, the largest single-year drop in more than two decades, according to records released by the school system Friday.

Officials called the decrease from 355,000 students to 340,000 — a 4% drop — a “crisis” that was largely driven by a significant decline in new families enrolling in preschool programs and elementary schools.

 Gee.  Where have we seen this before?  Of course!!!  Owen's place:

Enrollment in public school districts dropped 3 percent from September 2019 to September 2020

 It's not too easy to discover Milwaukee Public Schools' numbers, but they will emerge.  We're betting they're worse than the overall State numbers.
