Illinois Senate Democrats seek to make changes in election process for Chicago's Board of Education members through proposed legislation.
A fully-elected school board is closer to becoming a reality in Chicago after getting approval from the Illinois House.Illinois Senate Democrats introduced a proposal Tuesday that would allow for the election of all 20 members of Chicago's Board of Education next year.If the Senate plan is cleared by both chambers, it would mean control of the board would be taken away from Mayor Brandon Johnson two years earlier than expected.
But an amendment filed by Illinois Senate President Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, would allow the board to be fully elected as soon as next year by splitting up memberships to two and four-year terms. The Illinois House and Senate adjourned Tuesday without taking action on either proposal, but both sides are negotiating.
