Hundreds abused in Chicago schools after systemic failures: report

Hundreds of Chicago students have been sexually assaulted over the past decade after the third largest public school system in the US failed to implement basic safeguards like conducting adequate background checks or reporting abuse to authorities. The school system employed "ineffective background checks," the Tribune said, which failed to weed out employees with criminal convictions and arrests for sex crimes. More than 370,000 students are enrolled in CPS, which employs nearly 36,000 people.
