CEO/Superintendent, Chicago Public Schools
Alma Advisory GroupChicago, IL
About Chicago Public Schools Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the fourth-largest school district in the nation, is at a defining moment in its history as we seek a visionary leader to help shape our next chapter. Serving over 325,000 students across 634 schools with an annual budget just under $10 billion, CPS is a system of scale, complexity, and possibilities. Following a historic milestone in the fall of 2024, CPS is now governed by a newly structured hybrid Board of Education, comprised of both elected and appointed members. This means greater representation and voice from parents, students, and community to the district’s leadership. Together, our 21-member Board oversees 10 districts of the city and is actively seeking a bold, equity-driven, and innovative CEO/Superintendent to lead CPS into its next era. We are proud to be home to some of the highest-performing schools in the nation and we have made measurable progress in critical areas, including academic recovery post-pandemic and rising graduation rates. We have launched an ambitious 5-year strategic plan, rooted in culturally relevant curriculum and restorative principles that are rigorous and engaging, so every student has joyful learning experiences.  And yet, our mission is far from complete. We are committed to closing opportunity gaps, especially for our Black and Latino students, supporting the needs of our vibrant and expanding immigrant communities, adding more students and families to our school enrollment, and ensuring that our highest-need schools receive the resources and supports required for transformative success.  About the CEO/Superintendent Role The CEO/Superintendent is charged with carrying out the mission, vision, and strategic priorities established in partnership with the Board of Education.

The CEO/Superintendent will need to provide the CPS community with an honest and transparent understanding of the current state of CPS’s finances.  Address our facilities footprint compared to our current student enrollment, and lead thoughtful and transparent consideration and planning to protect the district’s overall financial sustainability. This may include finding new innovative solutions, as well as difficult possibilities such as school closures, consolidations, or re-zonings.

CPAL operates as an unofficial Research and Development lab for Dallas, using data to rethink public systems and equipping community partners at the neighborhood level to be successful in collectively achieving our mission to reduce childhood poverty in Dallas by 50% within a single generation. CPAL works across five key areas to reduce child poverty - Benefits Delivery, Maternal Health, Housing, Criminal Justice and Public Safety. These five “big bets” are rooted in a growing body of evidence that connects experiences in childhood to economics in adulthood. Three key principles underpin CPAL's approach: Design for scale: Child poverty is a problem of massive scale and requires the magnitude of government resources to fund solutions of equal scale. CPAL brings together the leaders of nine Dallas public agencies with a collective annual operating budget of over $10 billion to align local resources and take collective action on promising interventions. Center on evidence: CPAL develops and applies evidence-based outcomes frameworks on child poverty alleviation programs. Data is used to determine where to develop interventions and to evaluate if those interventions are working. CPAL equips our partners and community leaders to use data so they can make better decisions. Power with community expertise: By empowering community based organizations, residents, families, or frontline teams with tools, resources, and access to leaders, CPAL builds a broad coalition for sustainable efforts to combat child poverty.

This role ensures that data needs are met through strategic, well-executed public information requests—so our team can make the strongest data-driven decisions. What You Will Do: Public Information Strategy & Execution : Draft, submit, and manage public information (open records) requests to local and state governmental entities. Track request status, timelines, and deliverables, and conduct consistent follow-up to ensure timely responses. Review, organize, and analyze documents received from agencies; escalate issues when necessary. Maintain a centralized database of requests, agency contacts, outcomes, and response histories. Internal Collaboration & Prioritization : Work closely with CPAL's data and analytics team to pass off data for warehousing. Work closely with the public affairs and Big Bet teams to understand data needs and prioritize information requests accordingly. Identify trends in data needs and recommend proactive strategies for recurring or anticipated requests. Compliance & Government Relations : Stay informed on relevant laws and procedures, particularly the Texas Public Information Act and local regulations.

About Chicago Public Schools

Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the fourth-largest school district in the nation, is at a defining moment in its history as we seek a visionary leader to help shape our next chapter. Serving over 325,000 students across 634 schools with an annual budget just under $10 billion, CPS is a system of scale, complexity, and possibilities. Following a historic milestone in the fall of 2024, CPS is now governed by a newly structured hybrid Board of Education, comprised of both elected and appointed members. This means greater representation and voice from parents, students, and community to the district’s leadership. Together, our 21-member Board oversees 10 districts of the city and is actively seeking a bold, equity-driven, and innovative CEO/Superintendent to lead CPS into its next era.

We are proud to be home to some of the highest-performing schools in the nation and we have made measurable progress in critical areas, including academic recovery post-pandemic and rising graduation rates. We have launched an ambitious 5-year strategic plan, rooted in culturally relevant curriculum and restorative principles that are rigorous and engaging, so every student has joyful learning experiences. 

And yet, our mission is far from complete. We are committed to closing opportunity gaps, especially for our Black and Latino students, supporting the needs of our vibrant and expanding immigrant communities, adding more students and families to our school enrollment, and ensuring that our highest-need schools receive the resources and supports required for transformative success. 

About the CEO/Superintendent Role

The CEO/Superintendent is charged with carrying out the mission, vision, and strategic priorities established in partnership with the Board of Education. This role leads the day-to-day implementation of the district’s priorities, managing the leadership team that executes on the district’s vision, and setting the direction that will enable the district to realize its strategic plan. We are seeking a leader who is ready to think big, embrace innovation, collaborate, and build an equitable, student-centered future. This is a moment of extraordinary promise - and the chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of students, families, and communities across Chicago. 

Requirements

Your Key Responsibilities

Ensure that every student experiences high-quality, joyful, and culturally responsive learning

  • Advocate for and cultivate safe, engaging learning environments that fully support all of our students, including multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and students with diverse learning styles and needs.
  • Prepare each and every one of our students for career and college by strengthening programming from PK-16, beginning with our earliest learners in PK4, all the way to high school graduation, and ensure that students graduate with credits for college and/or the skills and path to the career of their choice.
  • Implement a clear and coherent plan that will fully actualize our five-year strategic plan. Identify successful programs already occurring and solidify or expand them. Mobilize action across board members, administrators, teachers, parents, students, civic, philanthropic, community organizations, labor partners, and state leadership in support of the strategic plan and our vision for student success.
  • Invest in our youngest students through early childhood programming, with a particular goal of ensuring that all students learn to read confidently by the third grade. 
  • Lead the successful implementation of research-based instructional programs that address opportunity gaps, particularly for communities that have been historically underserved. 

Steward financial stability and sustainability for CPS

  • CPS faces very real structural financial challenges. The CEO/Superintendent will need to provide the CPS community with an honest and transparent understanding of the current state of CPS’s finances. 
  • Address our facilities footprint compared to our current student enrollment, and lead thoughtful and transparent consideration and planning to protect the district’s overall financial sustainability. This may include finding new innovative solutions, as well as difficult possibilities such as school closures, consolidations, or re-zonings.
  • Secure education funding: fight for alternative revenue sources and/or state support to address pension problems and to ensure adequate funding for CPS. Manage complex financial strategies such as issuing bonds for infrastructure projects or securing grants to fund key initiatives.
  • Build a financial plan and roadmap that includes investments in modernizing schools, improving technology, and supporting teachers. 
  • Analyze the CPS budget and identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and opportunities for reallocating funds toward critical areas like teacher support, infrastructure, and technology.
  • Align resources with the needs of students. Prioritize funding for under-resourced schools, early childhood education, and mental health services, while ensuring that the district’s finances are balanced and sustainable.

Support, develop, and retain a strong leadership team to deliver on CPS’s vision and mission

  • Attract, cultivate, manage and coach a strong, cohesive leadership team from senior leadership all the way to network chiefs and deputies. Ensure that these teams work in alignment to operationalize and deliver the district’s 5-year strategic plan.
  • Create the conditions for staff to collaborate, seek support, feel valued, and be empowered to demonstrate their best work on behalf of the students they serve.
  • Assess team and individual skills, identify development needs, and provide feedback and support to improve practice, build capacity, and maximize talent.
  • Hold self and others accountable for high standards of performance, communication, collaboration and transparency toward the achievement of key goals and priorities.
  • Work to ensure that the leadership of the district is representative of our student population.

Partner with our communities to guide and accelerate the work of the district

  • Expand partnership and connection with our community by learning what matters to our students, families and communities, and using this insight to inform key decisions and enhance learning for each student.
  • Cultivate trust among board members, district staff, teachers, leaders, and core stakeholders to establish a clear and compelling vision for purposeful engagement, rigorous academic experiences, and organizational effectiveness that has a direct and measurable impact on student outcomes.
  • Build systems that enable stakeholders to meaningfully shape curriculum, teacher supports, wraparound services, student-centered school climates, meaningful parent engagement, and inclusive school leadership.
  • Sustain productive relationships with our unions and employee associations in the district to amplify coherence, build shared understanding, and promote consistent communication.
  • Engage the city’s dedicated community-based organizations, philanthropy, and business community to invest in and support the district’s vision for student success.

Support a diverse system of excellent schools in every Chicago neighborhood

  • Operationalize a vision for world class, affirming, neighborhood public schools that are accessible to every family within walking distance of their home.
  • Support and encourage collaboration and learning across the district’s impressive diversity of schools, including our community schools, magnet, specialized programs, arts, International Baccalaureate (IB) and other offerings. 
  • Ensure the ongoing authorization, evaluation, and effectiveness of the city’s charter schools.
  • Address inequities in opportunities, systems, and programming offered across our schools.

Champion our schools by communicating transparently, and changing the narrative about our schools

  • Increase dialogue and cooperation with key local, state, and national groups and organizations. Represent the district as needed at the local and state level to advocate for district resources and support for district success.
  • Communicate and collaborate with members of the Board, advising the Board on initiatives and issues in the district; provide leadership to enable the Board to function effectively.
  • Speak authentically with stakeholders about what is happening in the district - communicate with integrity and openness.
  • Engage others as part of the CPS vision, in a way that inspires families to stay in the district, and invites new families to join or rejoin our schools.
  • Navigate politically complex structures, relationships and dynamics to challenge ideas and enable thoughtful decisions and positive outcomes for students.
