SPRINGFIELD — Less than 12 months before Chicago voters head to the polls to elect the city’s school board for the first time, Illinois lawmakers adjourned for the year Thursday without reaching an agreement on how to conduct the first round of balloting. The House and Senate each approved separate plans for the election, but the House moved first and gaveled its session to a close before the Senate voted on its own plan.

We also want to make sure that that transition is done in a way that’s sensitive to the very people who are expecting it to work.
