A real estate agent backed by school choice advocates is running against veteran education activist Aaron "Jitu" Brown for a seat on the Chicago school board representing District 5a. LaPamela Williams, a native of Austin and Lane Tech College Prep alumna, wants to increase financial accountability and cut spending that doesn't benefit students.
Brown, who has the support of the Chicago Teachers Union, aims to secure more state funding and reduce administrative costs in Chicago Public Schools.
