New Chicago Board of Education Members Announce Several Operational Changes at First Full Meeting

At the first meeting of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s

“While 16 months until the first elected school board members are seated doesn’t feel like a long time, we owe it to those who came before us, to the 300,000-plus students we serve, to the over 40,000-plus staff that are part of CPS, hit the ground running, work to overcome the steep challenges in front of us and transform this district,” Shi said.

The board will also expand the number of public speaker slots at both its monthly meetings and its agenda review committee meetings up to 30, allowing for a total of up to 60 speakers to address the board each month. Monthly meetings will also be held at different locations throughout the city, rather than just at the school district’s central office.

The first of these meetings will be held Aug. 1 at the Rudolph Learning Center, 1628 W. Washington Blvd.
