Chicago charter school faces tough special ed scrutiny

Families in Little Village are seeing big changes at Instituto Health Sciences Career Academy after state officials hit the school with the harshest sanction for years of special education failures. For some students, this meant missing out on vital support for nearly their entire high school journey—impacting learning and daily life. The school blames a sudden staff exodus and a tough hiring market, but says it’s now fully staffed and making real progress. With CPS stepping in for regular oversight, many are wondering: Will this finally guarantee the support every student deserves? What do you think needs to change? #Education #ChicagoSchools #SpecialEducation
