Two candidates, Carlos Rivas Jr. and Jason Dónes, are running to represent Chicago's District 3b on the city's Board of Education. Both identify as progressives and have experience as teachers through Teach for America. Rivas, the incumbent, has the support of the SEIU State Council in Illinois and advocates for a more conservative approach to the school budget, while Dónes, backed by the Chicago Teachers Union, seeks increased transparency and creative solutions within the existing budget framework.
The district faces challenges including teacher and counselor shortages, high property taxes, and low enrollment amid gentrification.
