School Leadership Shakeup: Who's Really in Charge?

In Chicago, things are getting shaken up in the school system. The CEO of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is out, and it seems like their lobbying skills weren't up to par. Meanwhile, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is gaining more influence as negotiations with city officials heat up. State lawmakers aren't too happy about the funding demands either. Now, a new school board with CTU supporters is considering taking out a high-interest loan to fix some money problems.It's like a game of musical chairs where no one wants to be left without a seat—or in this case, a job. This whole situation has people wondering who's really calling the shots in Chicago schools. Is it the mayor, the teachers, or maybe even the state lawmakers? One thing is clear: there are big changes happening, and everyone is waiting to see what's next.
