Gaming selective school enrollment

Nader Issa and Sarah Karp:

A north suburban Lincolnwood family improperly sent their two kids to a Chicago Public Schools selective enrollment elementary school for six years.

Then, once it was time for high school, the family moved into the city but lied about living in a lower income neighborhood to boost the children’s chances of getting into a selective enrollment high school.

That’s according to an investigation done by the CPS Inspector General’s office, which detailed the findings in its annual report released Tuesday.
