I don't know if that's school-specific or a district-wide CPS thing.

Interesting!
Made me wonder when one thinks of instructional time, how that would compare here.
For that, one must factor in the number of school days per year.
I googled this for Chicago and got 176, while Ontario is 195.
So Chicago, nominally has ( 7 x 176) 1232 school hours per year.
While Toronto (and likely all of Ontario) has (6.5 x 195) 1267.5 school hours per year.
Pretty comparable; though Ontario would nominally come out w/35.5 more hours in a year, roughly equal to one additional week of learning.
