The mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson has announced an investment in early childhood learning and the workers they provide, describing financial support as a “advance payment”.
Johnson said on Tuesday: “This comes in a decisive time when our federal government threatens to integrate us into the United States, especially education,” Johnson said on Tuesday.
Investment aims to add up to 3000 people to salary statements in sites like North Lawndale YMCA, which has faced problems attracting workers in recent years.
Tahiti Hamer, resident of Chicago, described the investment as a lifeline.
“It will have a great impact, because I will not really have to focus on paying the price of care of my child, paying an invoice, or allowing my children to join extracurricular activities after school.”
Hummer is an employee of North Lawndale YMCA, who admitted the chief learning employee of problems in filling the classroom in the city's sites due to the lack of teachers.
Brene Sepert, Vice -Head of the International Health Care Department for Childhood Period, said.
Sieber added that many of its members are struggling to support their children and families while providing health care to other parents so that they can go to work.
Investment -related funds will be available from July 1, although it is currently not listed in the city's budget next year.
Hummer insisted on Mayor Johnson had more work to do after the announcement.
Hamer said: “We do not want this to be one time, because this is not a single struggle.”
