One of the board's core functions is making financial decisions — it can raise local property taxes and decide how to spend state and federal funding.</p><p><b>Endorsements</b>: Several education-related groups have endorsed or are providing significant financial support for candidates in the school board election.

A resolution calling for the review is scheduled for a vote Tuesday in the board's Health and Hospitals Committee.</p><p><b>The concerns</b>: Advocates, elected officials and faith leaders say the 2023 death toll — the deadliest year at the jail in decades — underscores the need for third-party oversight. In 2023, 18 people died at the jail, many from drug overdoses tied to delays in medical care, according to an Injustice Watch investigation.</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-ydyuhihk-l-e/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>WEATHER ✶</h4><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

A gulf of adoring fans separated the two raised platforms, as thousands in the arena's seats watched with full attention — low-lit masses devoid of the white glow of a cellphone screen. All eyes were trained on the 32-year-old singer-songwriter.</p><p>Saturday marked the second of Bridgers' two-night stint at the United Center for her "Lost Tour." She delivered a stellar set that successfully took the quietness of her guitar-driven songs to flashy arena-headlining heights without sacrificing the intimacy she has become known for.</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-ydyuhihk-l-dj/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>YOUR DAILY QUESTION ☕️</h4><p><b>What was the last truly no-phones performance you attended?
