The Chicago Teachers Union-backed candidates are expected to secure a majority of seats on the local school board, significantly increasing their influence over district policies. Despite this potential gain, the union’s preferred candidate for school board president is projected to fall short, leaving the union without control of the top leadership position. The outcome reflects a divided but strengthened presence for the union in shaping educational decisions. Voters will determine whether the union’s policy priorities can still advance without full executive control.
