The Chicago Board of Education will consider a one-year contract renewal for $1 million to repair and replace X-Ray machines at some high school buildings. Some education officials question whether these X-rays improve safety for students at schools.
“As a former CPS high school student myself, walking in through Gage Park High School with at least six to seven X-ray machines just gave a different feel, especially in Black and Brown communities,” board member Mariela Estrada said.
While much of the spending in this contract would go toward replacing broken X-ray machines, Estrada encouraged district leaders to engage with school communities to determine if they even want a replacement at their building. “I have not been able to see a correlation around, well schools that have X-ray machines have fewer dangerous objects or vice versa,” she said, noting that it’s the equivalent of trying to “prove a negative.”
