A new candidate, Peter Gonzáles, is running against Norma Ríos Sierra, a current member of the Chicago Board of Education, for the District 3a seat. Ríos Sierra, a community organizer from Logan Square, was appointed to the Board in 2024 by Mayor Brandon Johnson and is backed by the Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU. Gonzáles, a lawyer and tutor, is supported by the Illinois Network of Charter Schools and Common Ground Collective, a political action committee.
The district faces challenges including teacher shortages, art program cuts, charter school closures, and limited access to mental health services.
