President of Chicago Board of Education | |
---|---|
Since the 1995 Chicago School Reform Amendatory Act went into effect, the president has been directly appointed by the mayor of Chicago, rather than being elected among the members of the board.[3]
Beginning with the 2026 Chicago Board of Education elections, after which the Board of Education is slated to become an entirely-elected board, the president will be directly elected at-large by the city's voters.[4] It will be one of four at-large citywide elected offices in Chicago (alongside the mayor of Chicago, city clerk of Chicago, and city treasurer of Chicago).
Until 1857, the head of the school board was known as the "chairman of the Chicago Board of School Inspectors"[5] Written records of the board prior to 1840 are incomplete.[6]
