City Cast Chicago CPS Bus Shortage, More Chicago Symbols, and Lemonade for Sky Tix
Chicago Public Schools students returned to the classroom this week, and it was once again a frustrating start to the year for thousands without reliable bus service. While CPS reports a 25% increase in bus drivers over last year, the number of students with disabilities lacking adequate transportation has doubled. Chalkbeat Chicago’s Samantha Smylie and WBEZ editor Natalie Moore join us to break down the latest. Plus, we hear their thoughts on Chicago’s forthcoming school board election, a popular lemonade stand in Roseland , and the “Most Chicago” Chicago symbol.
