More than 10,500 special education students are set to receive extra support from Chicago Public Schools in an effort to make up for service cuts found to be in violation of federal and state law. The remedies, which will likely to cost CPS $10-$15 million, are an unprecedented move to help correct a system so broken that a state monitor was put in place to oversee it.
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.
