• W257426625 abstract "THE PROBLEMS of urban schools seem to multiply in number and complexity each year. Partly because urban school districts always exist in at least one major media market, their problems seem to draw a great deal of public attention. Often general economic and social problems seem to intersect with those of urban education. But, even when die focus is solely educational, news stories about juvenile violence, old or overcrowded schools, skirmishes over funding, changes in the curriculum, and teacher contracts can all make the problems of big-city schools seem insoluble. AN URBAN REALITY CHECK The Chicago Tribune is an example of a newspaper that tries to cover both the city of Chicago and its suburbs, using a bevy of good writers who have been in the business for a long time. State policy makers in Springfield sometimes talk about three different states -- Chicago, the suburbs, and the rest of the state. Often they have to craft different solutions for each. In Chicago, city politics, teacher union politics, and the expectation that lawmakers in Springfield will rescue Chicago with more money, as they have in the past, tend to dominate coverage. The budget shortfall that had the Chicago school district on the brink of closing throughout the fall is just the most recent example. This piecing together of yet another fiscal Band-Aid and then ignoring the situation until the next biennium seems to be a solution that state policy makers have grown tired of. In early 1993, when Gov. Jim Edgar suggested in his state-of-the-state address the creation of learning zones, he stepped into the middle of the debate about what was needed to improve the Chicago schools. need to give the Chicago schools some flexibility to do the job better. We need to try some new approaches. We need to try new things that are not bound by the limitations of Illinois law books. I propose we create the educational version of enterprise zones for a significant part of the Chicago public school system, Gov. Edgar said. should organize a cluster of schools and classrooms under a set of principles and a budget that has but one overriding concern -- the direct improvement of our children's tomorrow. If an expenditure does not directly enhance a child's learning, it should not be made. If nontraditional spending will help a child learn, spend it. If a rule stands in the way of a child's education, set it aside. By fall, the legislature had approved H.B. 2282 (P.A. 88-0200), creating the Chicago School Learning Zone Advisory Committee. That group was to make a report with recommendations to the legislature by 1 January 1994. The Tribune ran a series of stories in early December on the changing demography of the city and on its projected impact on the schools. The series, titled Moving Out, looked at why Chicago has lost 23,000 people a year over the past four decades. A team of reporters interviewed the residents of 3,000 households who had left the city in the prior year. Two-thirds of those interviewed said that they had left because of crime and a desire to find a safer place to live. Over one-half said that they wanted to live in a cleaner community. Parents with school-age children overwhelmingly cited the need for better public schools. While 82% of the move-outs are white, the African American communities in Chicago have also been hit hard, with the black population in the city declining by 113,000 during the 1980s. The Tribune emphasized that Chicago and the suburbs are interrelated and stressed the fact that a sick city will eventually affect the communities that surround it. The solutions mentioned by the Tribune seem to point in two distinct directions -- stopping handgun-related violence and funding and fixing the schools. THE SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS The problems and challenges in Atlanta appear similar to those in Chicago, but at least one major effort to work on the problem, led by former President Jimmy Carter, is already under way. …" @default.
