Episode Details

Chicago Public Schools has yet to place about 200 students with disabilities in classrooms, despite it being the second week of school. While the district says it is working quickly to place students in cluster programs, we ask Chalkbeat Chicago education reporter Samantha Smylie how families are managing this waiting period. Plus, Injustice Watch senior reporter Maya Dukmasova walks us through her investigation into a former UIC crime lab whose questionable forensic science led to multiple cannabis DUI convictions.
