Fox News
The head of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) said in a letter Monday that she wouldn't renew her contract, which expires at the end of June.
Prior to Monday's letter, the district's second-highest-ranking administrator, LaTanya McDade, said she would leave at the end of the school year. According to The Chicago Tribune, CPS chief operating officer Arnie Rivera is resigning as well, meaning three of its top officials are departing. Jackson's announcement came amid tumult over school closures and teacher union negotiations. Jackson oversaw schools during an 11-day teachers strike in 2019 and numerous fights with the Chicago Teachers Union this year over reopening plans following coronavirus pandemic restrictions.More Related News
