President of the Chicago Board of Education

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

President of Chicago Board of Education
Incumbent
Jianan Shi
since July 26, 2023[1]

The Chicago Board of Education is led by a president.[2] The current President of the Chicago Board of Education is Jianan Shi.[1]

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).

Officeholders
