These are a few things that most parents and teachers would say all schools should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I agree. I had the opportunity to share my thoughts \u2013 including the need for strong extracurricular activities \u2013 at a recent budget workshop at Corliss High School in Pullman. I was joined by other Stand parents and educators, as well as a number of other parents from across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting had a community feel to it. Everyone was there with ideas on how to make funding our schools work better for Chicago\u2019s students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A priority of mine is making sure students have access to engaging activities during and after school. These are important to give the kids something to look forward to and help keep them out of trouble. Not only that, but tutoring services would help them achieve more in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard plenty of other good ideas from parents and teachers. Things like adding librarians, music, and arts classes. Others mentioned the need for fun and safe facilities like gyms for sports and PE classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another strong sentiment that I shared with most everyone there was the need for funding to be equitable and spread across the city, not focused in one specific area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were so many strong ideas discussed at the workshop.
