Chicago taxpayers should be outraged. Then again, they’re the ones that keep voting these people into office. This city takes incompetence to dizzying heights. Already one of the most dangerous cities in the country, last year their own accountability school report card would demonstrate that huge majorities of students in the city’s worst schools, 75 percent in elementary and 95 percent in high school, failed to meet the state standards.

The fiscal year 2023 annual report released Tuesday states that Chicago public schools reported 77,505 tech devices as lost or stolen during the 2021-22 school year, totaling well over $23 million in original purchase price. The report said the missing items included laptops, iPads, Wi-Fi hotspots, printers, document cameras and interactive whiteboards. At three dozen schools, 100 percent of tech devices assigned specifically to students were marked lost or stolen, inventory data showed.
