CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The head of the Chicago Public Schools plans to ask the school board Wednesday to make the parents of three students who are not residents of Chicago to pay tuition.
Chicago Public Schools lists non-resident tuition as of the 2019-2020 school year as nearly $14,000. Now, CPS CEO Pedro Martinez wants the parents of three students to pay more than $105,000 in non-resident tuition for the 2012 through 2019 school years.
He said the students did not live in the City of Chicago during the years he’s requesting their parents pay tuition.
Martinez also is calling on the school board to kick the students out of their current schools and ban two of them from ever attending any selective enrollment schools in the Chicago Public Schools system.
In the memo to the Board of Education, Martinez did not disclose the names of the students, identify which schools they attended, where they actually lived, or whether they were from the same family or different families.
