Two women, Michelle Pierre and Claudia Peralta, are competing to represent northwest Chicago on the Chicago Board of Education. Pierre, a veteran educator, previously ran for the board in 2024, while Peralta has worked behind the scenes on campaigns and as a staffer for elected officials, including US Representative Delia Ramírez.
The district they are running for, District 1b, has 20 public schools, and the candidates differ in their approaches, with Pierre focusing on metrics and financial decisions, and Peralta relying on her political experience and relationships to secure resources for Chicago Public Schools. The winner will replace Jennifer Custer, who has held the seat for two years.
