After Chicago Decided To Hand Out Free Computers To Students…Tens Of Thousands Of Laptops Go Missing

Chicago —— Millions of dollars have gone down the drain right when the Chicago Public Schools face a looming budget deficit – as a brand-new CPS Inspector General report revealed the district lost thousands of computers and electronic devices in a school year. In all, more than $20 million were lost – as about students failed to return 77,505 laptops and other electronic devices within a year. This is even though the district spends millions to track such devices. The underlying concern is that taxpayer dollars will be used to replace them.
