Description

Last week, the Chicago Board of Education voted to end Chicago Public Schools’ $10.3 million school resource officer program. High schools have been directed to remove uniformed police officers before the 2024-25 school year begins. Freelancer Crystal Paul and the Tribune’s Shakeia Taylor join host Jacoby Cochran to break down this unanimous decision. We also discuss a new production at TimeLine Theatre, “Notes From the Field” that shines a light on the history of the school-to-prison pipeline. Plus, the Bears are still weighing their NFL draft options, a Beverly teen is fighting for new basketball courts, and Chicago waves goodbye to WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling.
