In 2003, Summit Preparatory Charter High School was born. It did not look like, act like or perform like a typical high school – as a result, all Summit students were succeeding.

the fun thing is that despite charters and vouchers being able to stack the deck, they apparently turn out, nationwide, to make less progress than the normal public schools do

so charters and private schools taking vouchers end up being a trap primarily for students of richer white parents who can afford the neccesary transportation etc, while the poor students stay in regular public schools and get equivalent or better education.

After witnessing the murder of Elliot Sully, his CFO and friend, genius billionaire Gideon Reeves of Reeves Industries takes charge of the troubled Chicago Police 13th District and upgrades it with his company's latest technology, notably by creating the APB app that allows citizens to immediately alert the police to a crime. With the aid of patrol cop, Officer Theresa Murphy, Reeves also sets out to bring justice to his friend by finding his killer.

Same in California. I was a problem kid. I had to go to "resource" class with other slackers and kids with real intellectual disabilities instead of language arts in high school. We mostly hosed around on computers and watched Homestar Runner, IIRC.

I made up those missed class in summer school during my junior and senior years so I could go to college. I also had to take a year of Spanish at community college during my senior year of high school because I didn't study a foreign language in high school.

Lauren presents Gideon with the idea of "APB Prime", a security system they can sell to the broader public. Meanwhile, a series of arsons that appear to be related to gang wars turn out to be something entirely different. At a shareholders meeting where Gideon is expected to reveal the billions that APB Prime can earn the company, he shocks Lauren and his audience by stating the only numbers he's interested in are Chicago's crime statistics, which he intends to drastically reduce.
