All seven members of Chicago's board of education resigned amid disagreements with Mayor Johnson over the $1 billion budget gap, marking a significant power shift.
Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposed $300 million loan to bridge the budget gap has faced resistance from Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez, despite union support.
With the board's mass resignation, Mayor Johnson is set to install a new board that may challenge Martinez's leadership and enact his budget proposals.
The board's future structure will transition to a hybrid model in January, allowing for both elected and appointed members, signaling upcoming changes in governance.
