Pipe Elementary school starting to close due to financial issues: Final draft

In Berwyn IL in the city of Chicago. A school named "Piper Elementary" People are stating that they will condemn the school because of financial problems! What will happen to the school? How do the people feel about this situation? Why is the school budget so low? Who is going too help this school out? When is this problem be resolve? Where is the money going to? Many of the answers are people asking what is going to happen to this school?

Officials said when the state of IL was cutting the district dipped into it's saving. Now that the money is roughly gone. The district has been left with 2 million dollars. Here is one parent feelings on this predicament. "I believe it's up to Speaker Madigan, President Cullerton, Governor Rauner to get off their butts and pass a budget," said Matt Cummings. Another parent also says "If you don't have quality schools, you don't have a quality community. And if you don't have a quality community, how can you possibly flourish," said Macey Morales.

Administrators discuss with parents Thursday of how it will impact there children. Administrators also said that 47% of the district funding is coming from the state. The state reduced the funding by 13% the district had no other spot but to turn to it's savings. Now the district funds are barely gone. According to Robert Pauly, Berwyn South School District 100 board president. He said "These kids get the least of any children in the state of Illinois. You go to Hinsdale, those children are already receiving 25 percent more than our children," Pauly said.

The staff at Piper are going to deal with this issue Wednesday at a school board meeting. The district has already saved approximately $2.1 million to see if the school can still be sentiment. But, 300 hundreds students at Piper will have to find a current school around their neighborhood. This is a murky time for this school and will might not be the brightest time for this school either. Parents concerns, teachers worrying, children hoping to have this school still stand aside them. The outcome of this school might be the last of these schools days.
