Opportunity Index
CPS uses a formula called the Opportunity Index to determine the level of need within a school community. This is one of tools used to ensure our students who are most impacted by inequity have the resources needed to build strong, vibrant, and healthy school communities. Going forward, CPS is expanding the use of this tool by leveraging data to allocate even more resources based on student and community need. These include additional teacher positions, tutors, social and emotional supports, restorative justice coordinators, and discretionary funds.
