Mayor Brandon Johnson, shown with CPS CEO Pedro Martinez at right, in June, appointed new Board of Education members Wednesday.
The one current member Johnson decided to retain is Elizabeth Todd-Breland, who was named vice president.Shi will take over board leadership from Miguel del Valle, a former state senator who was appointed by previous Mayor Lori Lightfoot four years ago andAs Lightfoot did early in her term, Johnson has been expected to reconstitute the Board of Education since taking office in May.
The transition begins next year, when 10 members will be elected. The other 10 seats, plus a president elected at large, will be chosen by voters in 2026. Shi, who said he will step down from Raise Your Hand, noted every new appointee has Local School Council experience and has been a Chicago Public Schools educator or parent.
