Chicago Public Schools CEO Search Recommendations from Educators
Educators for Excellence-Chicago hosted a series of focus groups with educators regarding Chicago Public Schools’ (CPS) search for a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Chicago educators are eager to work in partnership with CPS leadership during the CEO search, so E4E-Chicago aimed to expand the opportunity for feedback by conducting educator roundtables and surveys over the summer.
