Description

Dozens of Chicago alderpeople and school board members are pushing the board to uphold a resolution demanding that the next Chicago Public Schools CEO hold a state superintendent’s license, as Mayor Brandon Johnson reportedly points to his chief of staff to become the school district’s interim chief executive. Host Jacoby Cochran and producer Michelle Navarro discuss the internal fight to pick the next leader of Chicago public schools. Plus, we talk about our favorite Popemania memes and check in on Chicago’s piping plover neighbors.
