After investing $55 million in Chicago education since 2002, the Chicago Community Trust said test scores in participating schools have improved, and it announced Thursday it will spend another $50 million by 2013. But trust officials and others said those working to improve education can’t rest now. “We’re at a turning point in public education in Chicago,” Mayor Richard M. Daley said Thursday at Rachel Carson Elementary School on the South Side. “I don’t want to lose the momentum students gave us.” The trust is a philanthropic organization that funnels private donations to various local causes. The first five years of the trust’s education initiative involved literacy, development for teachers and administrators, and new types of schools. In the next five years, the initiative plans to continue those programs and add improving arts, math, science, language and social studies instruction; getting schools to network; helping students move from preschool to elementary and middle to high school; and working in suburban districts and private schools that serve large numbers of minority or low-income students.
