The New Boss
Thu, Mar 6, 2014
In America's heartland, Chicago confronts a crisis faced by many cities across the U.S. - can it save its kids in its schools and on its streets? Following his own advice to "never let a crisis go to waste," Mayor Rahm Emanuel maps out the largest school closings in U.S. history - sparking angry citywide protests. On the South Side, the principal of Fenger High School, Elizabeth Dozier, fights for her students as citywide budget cuts threaten to end the programs that are making a positive difference in Fenger's attendance and achievement measures. First Lady Michelle Obama visits Chicago for a fundraiser and reflects on life choices, her own South Side youth, and the recent death of young Hadiya Pendleton. And, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy coaches the Chicago Police Department (CPD) as they battle gangs and guns to lower the city's murder rate.
