Chicago’s entire public school board stepping down; mayor at odds with CPS CEO

The entire Chicago Board of Education - all seven members - is stepping down later this month, as the mayor continues to be at odds with Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez, who he wants removed from office.

[@davestevens4193]

The schools will probably run better with no school board

[@eyelovecolorado2195]

We have the dumbest kids in the world. It’s time for a change. So thank you for resigning!

[@sharpe67]

They’re not doing any good. I feel sorry for kids going to Chicago public schools.

[@LS-cr2ek]

No was irresponsible is the 1st person who took out the loan never paid it and it kept being passed down for the next person. Which is not fair. So what else do Major Johnson supposed to do? This is not on him. He came into this messed and want him to not help the people. Yall crazy!!! So goodbye Ceo and board members!!! Now major Johnson whatever helps after they leave its on you so DO NOT DISAPPOINT US!!!!

[@johnnynbk]

By the looks of that schoolboard, its not much of a loss...

I’m pretty sure nothing will happen

DA Foxx needs to take a walk as well!

[@zaraliata]

Well they got him in as mayor... now they got what they asked for...don't complain..you put him there

[@Cdone-lw6pg]

He works for the union not the city

[@nicciebunny]

Gender transitions?

[@Drety6]

Not surprised after looking at them

[@KameraShy]

School vouchers so parents do not have to subject their children to this thuggery. Like CTU president Davis sends her kid to private school.

[@SeiyaSoiya-un4jj]

At this point if you have the means to send your kid to a private school and you don’t, you’re just a bad parent.

[@dmontes133]

I guess the kids just are not important.

[@13Liberty50]

The real question is why are you all surrendering your rights, liberties and responsibilities of raising you children to a government.

[@OrlanduHolySwordsman]

Diddy tapes about to release I see 😂

[@turbulance2023]

From the looks of it, they need a change.

[@sundager8735]

It’s not like your children are actually getting a proper education anyways this could be a positive

[@karaokelola]

It’s not a new concept to elect a school board. Good move.

[@PoochieBeltran]

Brandon needs to get fired . 30 thousands on makup he is the tif tif of chicago and still aint in jail

[@brianrichard442]

How can anyone support the mayor who wants a high interest loan for a school system with less student yet they want more staff?

[@mexicanwhitedevil386]

What they get paid should be determined by how good the students are doing and I'm pretty sure the Chicago schools district is the worst in the country.

[@Jazzfestn]

SHTF because of poor LEADERSHIP.

[@allan9603]

We also need to get rid of the useless DOE as well!

[@OliverRabies]

[@stevecook413]

Wondering how much thier paychecks are.

[@BullseyeBob1]

Wow! School board members with a bit of credibility.

[@chrislynch8914]

My guess is none of these people met the blackness test for the mayor.

[@TheJusDon]

Yeah you’re 100% wrong if you think Brandon cares about black lives. 😂

how "Blackish" of you lol

[@karaokelola]

Did you even watch the video? The mayor appointed most of the people who resigned.

[@johnjr9997]

Someone see if that school board went to diddy parties cause this isn't a coincidence

[@TheMskblue]

Pay teachers MORE!!! Ask DCPS how this is working out 🫤 Schools should NOT be under mayoral control.

[@richlake]

If you have NEVER worked at a schoo. CHICAGO TECH ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR>. the challenges of teachers, Angry Parents and Student in transition of Technology and curriculum, It is a complex issue, every house hold has issues, from Homeless students,, not able to have Transportation money, or even food for breakfast. its is a complex issue.

[@robertwildenberg2255]

Should work out quite well

Look at them. Disgusting

[@daniels.3062]

Removing the entire board and replacing them with loyalists seems a little fascist to me.

[@boss_g08]

Let’s hire Bleks to replace them, probably the Mayors plan 😂😂😂, what a joke

Teachers want another raise? They work less than 9 months a year, with health care and pensions...greed

[@twinitedkindle5159]

They aren't teaching nothing. Get the Mayor out also

[@johnnynbk]

As they say, If you want to make a lot of money, you don't go into the teaching profession.

​@@summerwest1801racist yes, uncalled for certainly not. Do you think an entire school board resigns because they're ashamed and contrite? They're concealing corruption.

[@peraltaisrael2598]

[@Mysteryqueen86]

Honestly, I’m happy that all seven board members had left because it shows that they can’t do their job at all. That’s all it shows. Everyone in the city of Chicago in government got raises police politicians but when it comes down to the teachers, they don’t get nothing but a budget for this year, but the teacher did not get the budget, that is ridiculous and very happy that they laugh because we need real strong people up in there no little weak ones, the old man, Holland, and screaming and crying on what the mayor is doing he just trying to get good with the people in Chicago so he can come up as mayor. That’s what that’s all about because if you care, you will forfeit your raise.

[@khrcar6596]

Yeah .. & Chicago’s Nut case mayor is like- “oh ok.. yeah no big deal”…
