The Chicago Board of Education has approved a new policy that formally prioritizes transportation for students with disabilities and homeless students before other students. CEO Pedro Martinez said some families are being offered $500 monthly stipends to transport their children themselves. This is down from $1,000 offered last year.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
