Are small schools bound by regular CPS rules?
Except for small charter schools, all small schools follow the same rules and regulations as other CPS schools. However, because small school faculties often have greater control over their budgets, they are able to make decisions about how to spend funds in order to most benefit their students. Some small schools may decide to use discretionary monies for extra positions, while others may decide to use extra funds on extended-day pay for curriculum planning or extra art supplies for their school’s visual art focus.
