Chicago Board of Education Election 2026: The race for the presidency

Chicago will elect its first directly-elected president of the Chicago Board of Education on November 3. Four candidates are vying for the non-paid position, which involves publicly representing the board, leading meetings, and helping set the agenda. The candidates include Hilario Domínguez, a former Chicago Teachers Union political副director; Jessica Biggs, a former CPS school principal and current board member; Victor Henderson, an attorney and member of the Urban Prep Charter Academy board; and Sendhil Revuluri, a leadership consultant and former board member.

Each candidate has different priorities, including expanding preschool access, improving student performance, and promoting financial stability.
