Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday announced plans to build Barack Obama College Preparatory High School. The selective enrollment high school will be open for the 2017-2018 school year. Chicago Public Schools says its enrollment will be 1,200 students.
Emanuel and school officials say Chicago needs more competitive selective enrollment schools. They say nearly 16,500 students applied for 3,200 seats this school year. The Obama school will be the 11th selective enrollment high school in Chicago.
School officials say the Obama school will open with a freshman class of 300 students. Subsequent grade levels will be added in following years.
Chicago Public Schools is the nation’s third-largest school district, with 400,000 students in 658 schools.
Will they teach how to vacation & play golf ?
Well of course they are. I would expect a school in Chicago and at least one more in Illinois. Some school districts name all their buildings after presidents. We can also expect a road in Chicago and at least one more in Honolulu. (I bet some town somewhere has a set of consecutive president-named streets.) Then of course there will be the presidential library and his charitable foundation.
Just like all the other presidents.
