Chicago held its first-ever school board elections in November 2024. Enter your address to find your representative based on official district boundaries. CPS recently proposed a budget that cuts student success. Research shows that when Assistant Principals go, student support goes with them. Assistant principals are essential because strong leadership equals strong schools. Take action by contacting your elected school board member to ensure that each school has the leadership and resources needed to ensure student success.

Be specific about your school, situation, or concern. Board members serve as community volunteers. Here's a suggested script to copy/paste to ensure your school keeps its AP:
As a parent at (school name), I see my child's Assistant Principal every day - greeting students, handling emergencies, supporting teachers. I was horrified to learn that CPS is considering cutting the Assistant Principal role at my school. This isn't a position we can afford to lose. When my child needs help, the AP is there. Don't take that away from my family - cutting AP's undermines everything our community has built together.
OR
As an educator, I rely on my AP for instructional support, discipline, and
leadership. They evaluate 150+ staff members, manage special education cases,
and drive school improvement. Cutting APs means cutting the support structure
that makes student success possible.
OR
As someone invested in (neighborhood school), I know that strong leadership
equals strong schools, which means strong futures for our community. Cutting
APs undermines everything we've built together.
