PDNA Education Update

What does this have to do with Education?

Have some patience and I will tie it up

PDNA Education Update

South Loop Elementary Map

South Loop Elementary School

• Built to accommodate 520 students

• Two classrooms each grade K-8 for a total of 18 classrooms

• Current CPS census, 27 classrooms and 825 students

• Classrooms being held in every resource room including art, dance and library

PDNA Education Update

S. Loop Elementary

• What about the Gifted Phase out?

• This year enrolled 94 kindergarten students

• Graduated less than fifty

• Will graduate 59 this year, 75 next year

• So phase out slowed crisis, did not solve it

• New Housing units coming on line

PDNA Education Update

National Teacher’s Academy Map

NTA Status

• Built to accommodate 4 classrooms K-8

• 36 Classrooms plus expansive resource rooms

• Student capacity of 1100 or more

• Current CPS census, 20 classrooms 520 students

• Census includes outside programs

PDNA Education Update

CTE Preference Map

Qualifications and acceptance process

Limited to 75 per year

Over 1000 applicants for first entry class

Awaiting numbers

from CPS, but likely already not serving need

Phillips Academy HS Map

Phillips Academy Status

• Under enrolled, 564 students

• On CPS probation for 18 years

• Boundary is meaningless in terms of attendance

PDNA Education Update

Tying Everything Together

• TIFs – Tax Increment Funding

• At TIF creation, a Base “EAV” is created

• For the next 23 years, all taxes above the EAV go into the TIF, for example the Near South TIF

• The Near South TIF is the richest TIF by far

PDNA Education Update

TIFs

• In 2012 according to David Orr’s website, the Near South TIF brought in $65.3 million, or nearly 15% of the City’s entire TIF collection

• Makes sense, look at the tax base in 1994

(was set to expire in 2017)

• Orr has a great website on TIFs

• For my property 91% of my taxes go to the Near South TIF

PDNA Education Update

TIFs, Schools, City Budget Crisis and MPEA

• Community leaders in this area have advocated for a REAL K-12 public school for many years

• One does not currently exist

• A prior plan, approved by CEO Huberman

but never enacted, collapsed the S. Loop

and NTA boundaries and used the combined

school assets for K-12.

PDNA Education Update

Conclusion

• At this point it would likely require an additional building on the NTA campus to make it work

• TIF dollars are likely the only source of a capital infusion

• Either the school issues get fixed or the tax base relocates to the suburbs, especially with taxes destined to go way up.
