Remove ads

The Chicago Board of Education election took place on November 5, 2024, alongside the statewide general elections. This was the first ever election to the Board, which has been an appointed body since its formation in 1837.[1]

Quick facts

The election was planned after the state passed a law in 2021 that would create an elected school board. The new Board will eventually have 21 members, consisting of members from 20 districts and one at-large Board President.[2] The 2024 election elected 10 members from newly created districts; the other 10 members and the board president will be appointed by the mayor of Chicago. In the 2026 election, the number of districts will increase to 20, and all members and the President will be elected.[1][3]
