Chicago Board of Education Election 2026: The District 4b race

Ellen Rosenfeld, a former Chicago Public Schools teacher and community engagement specialist, is running unopposed to retain her seat on the Chicago Board of Education. She has been a vocal advocate for improving the district's academic performance and has expressed concerns about the board's susceptibility to external pressures.

Rosenfeld has established relationships with school staff, families, and students through regular office hours and visits to around 60 schools.

Rosenfeld believes the next board, comprised entirely of elected members, can lead an academic resurgence.
