As sexual abuse and special education scandals continue to loom over Chicago Public Schools, district CEO Janice Jackson committed to hire some 250 new social workers and case managers for the fast-approaching academic term.
The $26 million effort would give 78 schools at least one new special education case manager to help ensure students receive services to which they are entitled through individual special education plans.
