Chicago Public Schools have reported the loss of more than 77,000 tech devices, including laptops, iPads, and other electronics, totaling an estimated $23 million in the 2021-22 school year. The Inspector General's report detailed 17 criminal charges against an elementary school assistant principal and various sexual abuse investigations. The missing devices were provided to students as part of a program to support remote learning during the pandemic. The Chicago Teachers Union has reportedly refused an audit four times, and there are concerns about the lack of efforts to track down the missing devices, including those from three dozen schools.
