321,666 students

Thirty-five candidates ran in the November 5, 2024, general election for 10 seats on the Chicago Public Schools school board (CPS) in Illinois. This was the first year Chicago residents voted for board members to oversee CPS. According to the Chicago Sun-Times' Nader Issa and Sarah Karp, "After a set of campaigns largely defined by opposing progressive and more conservative education movements, mixed election results Tuesday night gave neither the Chicago Teachers Union [CTU] nor charter school advocates a major cause for celebration in the city’s first-ever school board elections.”[1]

Overall, CTU-backed candidates—Jennifer Custer, Ebony DeBerry, Aaron Brown, and Yesenia Lopez—won four of the 10 seats. Candidates backed by the Illinois Network of Charter Schools and/or The Urban Center—Carlos Rivas Jr., Ellen Rosenfeld, and Angel Gutierrez—won three. The winners in District 6, 9, and 10—Jessica Biggs, Therese Boyle, and Che Smith, respectively—were not endorsed by any of the four organizations.

Since 1995, Chicago's mayor appointed all seven board members.[2] In 2021, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) signed legislation that expanded the board from seven to 21 members beginning in January 2025.[3] Voters selected 10 new members on November 5, and the mayor was required to appoint the other 11 members under the legislation. The board was scheduled to become fully elected in 2027.[4]

According to Crain's Chicago Business' Judith Crown, "The election has become a referendum on the vision advocated by Mayor Brandon Johnson and the CTU [Chicago Teachers Union], which includes borrowing funds for a new teachers contract, limiting school choice and moving away from traditional metrics and rankings."[5] Johnson, who was a teacher with CPS and an organizer with the CTU, was elected in 2023. The CTU endorsed Johnson in the mayoral race.[6] Johnson appointed six new members to the board on July 5, 2023.[7]

How much of a priority charter, magnet, and elective enrollment schools have was a central issue in the election. In October 2023, the school board passed a resolution that called for transitioning "away from privatization and admissions/enrollment policies and approaches that further stratification and inequity in CPS and drive student enrollment away from neighborhood schools."[8][9] At the time of the election, all Chicago students were assigned a neighborhood school based on their ZIP code, but they were also able to apply to charter, magnet, or selective enrollment schools.[10][11] During the 2022-23 school year, about 56% of CPS students attended neighborhood schools.[12]

Proponents of placing more emphasis on neighborhood schools said those schools disproportionately serve the most disadvantaged students, who require greater resources to educate.[13] Proponents of alternatives to neighborhood schools argued that more choices allow families to find the right education for their children.[14]

The CTU and the Illinois Network of Charter Schools (INCS), an organization that advocates for charter schools, backed competing candidates who took different stances on the role of choice in the system. The CTU endorsed candidates in all 10 districts.[15] The INCS paid for digital ads and direct mail in support of seven candidates.[16] CTU Vice President Jackson Potter said, “You really have to de-emphasize choice in some way to really make the neighborhood schools rise.”[17] INCS Executive Director Andrew Broy said, “The question is do these candidates running for school board support the concept that parents should have a choice of where to send their kids to school.”[16]

The Save Our Schools Coalition, of which CTU was a member, also endorsed the 10 candidates CTU endorsed.[18] The CPS's former CEO, Paul Vallas, endorsed candidates who generally supported charter schools through the group he co-founded, Urban Center Action.[19] Vallas was also a candidate in the 2023 mayoral election.

Funding, absenteeism, school closures, and safety were also issues in the election.[20][21][22][23] Candidates took stances on the October 4, 2024, resignation of all seven members of the board. The board's decision to resign allowed Johnson to appoint replacements. Click here to learn more about the resignation.

The legislation requiring 21 school board members made it one of the largest school boards in the country. Of the 13,194 school districts in the country, only 240 — or about 2% — had school boards with more than 10 members at the time of the election. Those 243 districts were spread across 18 states.

Tens of thousands of elections took place in 2024 up and down the ballot, including for school board.

Chicago school board member resignations (2024)

On October 4, 2024, Chicago Board of Education members Elizabeth Todd-Breland, Mariela Estrada, Mary Fahey Hughes, Rudy Lozano, Michelle Morales, Jianan Shi, and Tanya Woods announced their resignations.[31] Their resignations come after a budget meeting in July 2024, where the board rejected Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposal to take out a loan to cover teacher pensions.[32]

On October 7, 2024, Johnson announced six interim appointments to the board: Olga Bautista, Michilla Blaise, Mary Gardner, Mitchell Ikenna Johnson, Deborah Pope, and Frank Niles Thomas.[33] The new members were sworn in on October 24.[34]

Johnson disagreed with the board and CEO Pedro Martinez over staffing cuts in the 2024-25 budget. The board voted 7-0 on July 25 to pass a $9.9 billion budget for the upcoming school year.[35] Johnson, along with the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), opposed aspects of the plan, which proposed cutting some support staff as a way to close a $500 million budget deficit.[36] Johnson said, “That is not what the people of Chicago elected me to do, to cut our school district. I am not going to do it.” Johnson instead recommended CPS take out a short-term, high-interest $300 million loan to cover teacher raises and pension payments.[37]

CEO Pedro Martinez’s administration rejected the loan proposal. CPS Chief Financial Officer Miroslava Mejia Krug said: “We can all recognize that issuing debt has not been a good thing for CPS.”[38] In September, the Chicago Sun Times, Fox32, and other outlets reported Johnson had asked CPS CEO Pedro Martinez to resign.[39][40] Johnson denied the reporting, saying, “[I] didn’t ask anybody to do anything. The only thing that I’m requiring in this moment is leadership that’s prepared to invest in our children.”[41]

In a Sept. 24 op-ed in the Chicago Tribune, Martinez wrote that Johnson had asked for his resignation. Martinez said, “I have chosen not to resign because doing so would risk creating a leadership vacuum and instability that could disrupt the strategic progress we’ve made to date.”[42]

The board, the only entity with the authority to hire and dismiss the CEO, selected Martinez as CEO in September 2021.[43]

The budget also did not include money for a new contract with the CTU. Negotiations over that contract are ongoing.[44] The CTU had asked for 9% annual raises, while the district has offered between 4-5%.[45][46]
