Yes, and honestly it's not like they need to deserve it, the end goal is still "everyone should have access to healthcare" and since trans healthcenters are already used to hormonale therapy and other surgeries surrounding sex characteristics it's only logical those centers welcome intersex people

some of what is stated in the email doesn't make sense and some of it is what the district already does

for example, bell times have been adjusted for the last two years to work on transportation so they can bus kids with disabilities
Dear CPS Families and Staff, As we approach the start of the new school year, we want to share an important update regarding several operational changes that will take effect across the district. These adjustments are the result of budget reductions and reflect difficult decisions we have had to make in order to responsibly manage our resources. CPS remains deeply committed to protecting core student services and advancing equity in every school community. This commitment continues to guide each decision we make, especially during times of financial challenges. While these adjustments will impact how some services are delivered, our priority is to ensure that every CPS student continues to receive a high-quality education in a safe, clean, and supportive environment. Building Maintenance and Cleaning: Staffing changes in custodial and engineering services will result in revised cleaning schedules and adjustments in how non-emergency maintenance requests are addressed. School staff will focus on essential repairs and maintenance in order to ensure healthy learning environments. School Meal Service: As a result of reduced staffing, schools may experience changes in meal service. These may include simplified menus, fewer hot meal options, or cold meals being served on certain days. While we will maintain our current free breakfast and lunch program, our supplemental after-school meal program will transition from hot suppers to packaged snacks. School Start Times: Next year, some schools will implement new bell schedules; this move will allow more buses to run multiple routes in the morning and afternoon, increasing our capacity to transport students to and from school. Families whose bell times will change should have already received direct communications regarding the adjustment. Crossing Guards and Safe Passage: CPS will continue to provide Safe Passage and crossing guard support. However, these services will operate with fewer staff and modified schedules. No CPS school has lost access to either program entirely; school-level details will be provided to each impacted school community individually. Student Health Services: While reduced funding is impacting CPS’ ability to provide school-based vaccine and physical exams, we are working closely with health care providers and community partners to help families access these services. Visit schoolinfo.cps.edu/HealthCenters for availability and details. Parents are also encouraged to schedule medical care with a community health center by visiting findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov. Despite reduced staff, the Healthy CPS Hotline at 773-553-KIDS (5437) will continue to support families with health information, access to resources, assistance with benefit applications, and more. Technology: Due to the need to reduce costs, some repairs for network infrastructure may be delayed and schools may need to use their funds to pay for replacement devices. We recognize that these changes may create challenges for students and families, and we will work hand-in-hand with our school communities to make the adjustments as smooth as possible. In the coming days, schools will provide more detailed updates and offer support to help navigate these transitions.

Dems continue to drill down on medicaid cuts. Hickenlooper is discussing the impact of these cuts on community healthcenters, and seemingly by extension FQHCs and LAs.

Dr. Monarez gave a wishy washy non answer about the limits in her influence.
