I'm worried about these charter schools, you know? 
They're like, super vulnerable to financial issues because they don't have the same stability as traditional public schools. I mean, think about it - Aspira's enrollment is down by $1.5 million and that's a huge chunk of change! 
Here's some stats to put this into perspective:
* The average charter school budget is around $12 million per year (source: National Association of Charter School Authorizers).
* However, 70% of charter schools report financial instability or "low" financial health (source: ED Trust Fund for Excellence in Education).
* If we assume an average enrollment decline of 5%, that's like losing a quarter of your budget - big problem, right?
It's not all bad news though!
Chicago Public Schools' $760k bailout is definitely a step in the right direction. And I'm loving the transparency here - Aspira CEO Edgar Lopez is acknowledging their financial woes and taking steps to strengthen their position.
But what about Damian Ascencio and his classmates? They deserve better than a school that's struggling to make ends meet!
Aspira needs to prioritize financial stability over short-term gains. Anyone else worried about these charter schools?

, a 5 million dollar bailout and it still ain't enough? The way CPS is holding it up is ridiculous, like they're trying to strangle this school 
. What's the point of providing payroll support if they're not gonna give any more than that? It feels like they're just stringing Aspira along 
. The fact that Damian and his classmates are considering transfers is a major red flag, what's going on behind closed doors at Aspira? Shouldn't CPS be focusing on finding solutions instead of throwing shade? 
anyway, idk how ppl expect these charters to run financially when the gov's not giving them a clear budget or anything its like CPS is just enabling them by providing more money without any strings attached
