An elected school board. A new teachers union contract. The end of a moratorium on school closures.Those are among the biggest education hurdles Chicago’s next mayor will have to navigate over the next four years as the city’s public schools system enters a period of potentially dramatic changes for students, families and educators.
: “We need candidates who are deeply invested and knowledgeable from the communities served to have a fair chance to win races to influence the education of their children.” Negotiations have been acrimonious in recent years. The two sides narrowly avoided a walkout with a last-second agreement in 2016, but after talks collapsed in 2019, teachers went on an 11-day strikeNow with that deal set to expire next year, either Vallas or Johnson will have to work with the union to craft a new contract and prevent another strike.
he believes the 2019 strike “could have been avoided” and said that if both sides “work in good faith, there should be no need for a teacher strike.” As part of the same bill that will bring an elected school board to Chicago, state legislators put in place a moratorium on school closures in Chicago. But that measure is set to expire in 2025.
Vallas, meanwhile, has pushed to expand the number of charter and magnet options. In a 2022 Chicago Tribune op-ed titled “School choice gives power back to parents,” Vallas wrote that traditional public schools “simply aren’t designed to adapt or innovate in real time, even when an emergency arises.”
