Chicago Public Schools to Shift Students from Struggling ASPIRA Charter Network
February 27, 2026 - 03:11
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has announced plans to transfer approximately 540 students from two high schools within the ASPIRA charter network, which is currently grappling with significant financial difficulties. This decision comes as the charter network faces a midyear closure, prompting CPS to take action to ensure that affected students can continue their education without interruption.
The two high schools, which have been part of the ASPIRA network, have struggled to maintain adequate funding and resources, leading to the decision to close their doors. CPS officials are working diligently to facilitate a smooth transition for the students, aiming to place them in alternative educational settings that can better meet their academic needs.
Parents and guardians have been informed about the transfer process, with CPS committed to providing support and guidance throughout this transition. The district emphasizes its dedication to student welfare and is focused on ensuring that all students find a suitable educational environment.
