The Chicago Police Department, under new leadership, faces a long to-do list in 2024 after a year of sweeping changes and controversy. Chicago Public Schools officials are considering removing police officers from school buildings, aligning with Mayor Brandon Johnson's vision. This move has sparked debate, with some arguing it will create a more segregated and unequal school district. The Chicago Teachers Union's stance on closing magnet schools has also stirred controversy, with differing views on the impact on students of different races.
