Moseley Braun unveils Chicago education plan

Mark Konkol:

Chicago children shouldn't have to compete for the chance to attend the city's best performing schools, mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun said Thursday.

And if she's elected, Braun said she plans to focus on improving neighborhood schools so parents won't have to send their kids to magnet and selective enrollment schools in other parts of town.

"It seems to me the opportunity for a quality education is not something we should have to compete for," Braun said.

"It ought to be available to every child in every neighborhood."
