A U.S. district judge who chastised the federal government for paying too little of the cost of desegregating Chicago’s public schools ordered the Department of Education to give the city up to $88 million. Attorneys for the school board and the federal government differed on how much the city would get but both sides said they had reached an agreement for the board to get $5.7 million while the ruling is appealed. Bob Saigh of the school board said: “Whatever the amount . . . it is welcome.”
