“(zh) after all seven members of the chicago public school board resigned last week, mayor Brandon Johnson announced a complete overhaul of the board amid rising tensions due to budget shortfalls.
“speaking at a press conference in a south side church, Johnson, a first-term mayor and former chicago teachers union organizer, declared, ‘I was elected to fight and fight I am.’ [N.S.: “fight I am”? What language was that?] his decision to replace all seven board members has sparked concerns across various sectors of the city, from the city council to business leaders and educational watchdogs, Bloomberg reports.
“the mayor’s plan to replace all seven board members sparked concern on the part of most of the city council, members of the chicago business community and watchdogs. the district serves more than 320,000 students, making it one of the nation’s largest.
“Johnson announced only six nominees to the board on monday until a new 21-member hybrid board is installed in january, of which 10 will be elected.
“the tension at the heart of this upheaval is rooted in longstanding disputes between the teachers' union and the district, compounded by dwindling enrollments and the looming threat of school closures. Johnson’s election in early 2023 had already raised eyebrows given his background with the teachers' union, and his swift move to overhaul the board signals a significant shift in how the city's schools might be governed moving forward [“moving forward" is filler that should never be used] serves.
“this sweeping change comes as the teachers' union and the district haggle over terms for a new five-year contract, with negotiations hitting a dead end after the previous contract expired in june. adding to the controversy, reports have emerged that chicago public schools ceo Pedro Martinez, a holdover from former mayor Lori Lightfoot's administration, has openly rejected Johnson’s proposal for a short-term loan to cover escalating salary and pension costs."
