Chicago Board of Education President Pushes for Interim CPS CEO Vote
May 8, 2025 - 11:59
Multiple sources indicate that the President of the Chicago Board of Education, Sean Harden, is actively seeking support from fellow board members for a pivotal vote regarding the interim leadership of Chicago Public Schools (CPS). Harden is advocating for the appointment of Cristina Pacione-Zayas, who currently serves as Chief of Staff to Mayor Brandon Johnson, as the interim Superintendent.
This development comes at a crucial time for CPS, as the district navigates various challenges and strives for stability in leadership. Pacione-Zayas's potential appointment is viewed by some as a strategic move to align the school district more closely with the mayor's administration.
Supporters of Pacione-Zayas highlight her extensive experience and understanding of the educational landscape, believing she could provide the necessary guidance during this transitional period. The Board is expected to deliberate on the vote in the coming days, with many eyes on how this decision will impact the future direction of Chicago's public schools.
