Chicago Public Schools

Tuition budgeted but not matched to a payment shown here

$26.6 million

Exact amount: $26,603,160.16

FY2026 (July 2025–June 2026)

Leftover

23 more private schools were found by matching CPS FY2026 payment names to the State Board of Education's directory of approved nonpublic special education schools (together $11,858,311.70). Left out on purpose: agencies that run many services (UCAN, JCFS, Maryville, Rush and others), and names that did not match the same city.

CPS pays many other private schools, and some listed schools were paid from other lines, so this part has no provider boxes.
