VOICED : Will Chicago school reform put kids

The video discusses the challenges faced by children in Chicago's Southside, particularly due to school closures. The closures affect 30,000 students, forcing some to cross gang territories, raising safety concerns. The city plans to expand the Safe Passage program, placing unarmed adults on key routes to improve safety. While the program has shown success in increasing attendance and reducing crime, community members oppose the closures, fearing increased danger. The Chicago School Board will vote on the closures in May.
