Description

When 50 Chicago Public Schools were closed a decade ago, then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel and district leaders promised students would be better off and that the buildings would be transformed into community assets. A new WBEZ and Chicago Sun-Times series takes a closer look at those promises and the long-term consequences on the city’s district, neighborhoods and families. Reset learns more from the team behind the series: Kate Grossman, WBEZ senior editor for education; Sarah Karp, WBEZ education reporter; Lauren FitzPatrick, Chicago Sun-Times investigative reporter; and Nader Issa, Chicago Sun-Times education reporter.
