CPS Cuts Money For Summer Safety Programs

The Chicago Public Schools will more than halve the amount it provides for Safe Haven, a summer program where churches work with CPS children on conflict resolution and anger management, as well as more scholastic programs like reading. CPS head Jean-Claude Brizard announced yesterday that funding will be cut from $975,000 to $360,00, and funding for the Youth Advocates mentoring program for the most at-risk students will also be cut.

Brizard largely blamed the loss of federal stimulus money for the cuts.
