Also happening, today is the funeral for Chicago Police Officer Ella French whose life was taken from her while making a traffic stop nearly two weeks ago on the South Side.  The funeral mass is at the chapel at St. Rita High School on 77th and Western. Meanwhile, Officer French’s wounded partner remains hospitalized with a long road to recovery; with the start of the new school year quickly approaching, the Chicago Teachers Union still has not reached an agreement with the district; the McHenry County Board has rejected the creation of a flag policy viewed by many as an effort to prevent the county from flying the gay pride flag; and much more.
