Who says the Chicago public schools are getting better students?
There are nearly 56,000 special education students in Chicago--almost as many children as the total combined enrollment of the state's second- and third-largest school districts. Special education programs cost the Chicago Public Schools $690 million last year and are expected to cost more than $750 million by the end of this school year.
It appears
Chicago Public Schools has violated federal law by restricting how many students could be referred for special education services at specific schools, state education officials allege.
Another great moment in public education.
