"Chicago Public Schools' Special Education System in Crisis: Cuts and Shuffling Leave Students Behind. Despite promises to prioritize student needs, Chicago Public Schools has made significant cuts to its special education staff, leaving thousands of students with disabilities without essential support. The drastic reduction in personnel has resulted in a lack of resources and services, leaving many students feeling lost and unserved. As the district continues to grapple with budget constraints, advocates are sounding the alarm that the most vulnerable students are paying the price, and the long-term consequences could be devastating."
