This article about the Civic Federation's analysis of the proposed FY2008 Chicago Public Schools budget focuses on the Federation's recommendation that the Chicago Board of Education reduce the district's property tax levy by $32 million. The General Assembly appropriated $32 million more for CPS than the $98 million the district anticipated when it created the budget.
