An investigation by the Tribune and ProPublica that exposed the little-known practice of school-based ticketing won a Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Award for Investigative Reporting last week. The prizes, which honor local watchdog journalism, were announced by the Better Government Association at a May 24 event.Tribune reporter Jennifer Smith Richards and ProPublica reporter Jodi S. Cohen described how thousands of Illinois students a year had received tickets at school for conduct that violates local laws. The tickets often involved behavior as minor as littering, vaping, using offensive words or gestures, or getting into a hallway scuffle.
A state law prohibits schools from fining students as a form of discipline, but instead of issuing fines directly, school officials referred students to police, who wrote the tickets. The fines attached can be hundreds of dollars, an impossible burden for many families. The reporters also found Black students were ticketed at higher rates than their white peers.
