On the Monday deadline, Chicago Board of Elections said the 47 candidates filed to run for elected school board in 10 districts across the city.
Elected school board candidates, including Kimberly Brown, submit filing paperwork at the Chicago Board of Elections on June 17, 2024. On Monday, the filing deadline, the total number of candidates for Chicago’s first school board election in November capped off at 47.
Most candidates—a diverse mix of parents, educators, community activists, and even a performance artist —gathered support and cultivated their campaigns months ahead of the filing deadline despiteabout the multi-year transition and how the new 21-member board will govern. They have until July 15 to disclose their campaign contributions, which can indicate the race’s competitiveness alongside the number of candidates on each district’s ballot.
The Chicago Board of Education currently comprises seven board members appointed by the mayor. But earlier this year, state legislators settled on the formal transition from the current seven-member appointed board to the new, hybrid elected model. Chicago residents, divided into 10 districts, will vote in the Nov. 5 general election for board members to take office next year. After the election, Mayor Brandon Johnson will appoint a board president and 10 additional board members from smaller subdistricts, for a total of 11 board members chosen by the mayor.Vying for one of 10 board seats, candidates began submitting their petitions on June 17 for the Nov. 5 general election.
These are the candidates running in each district, based on records obtained from the Illinois State Board of Elections and the Chicago Board of Elections.Click to print Illinois may soon return land the US stole from a Prairie Band Potawatomi chief 175 years ago
