Supt-CEO Search - 芭乐视频

芭乐视频 Public Schools Superintendent/CEO Search

Help Shape the Future of CPS

The 芭乐视频 (Board) is launching a national search for the next Superintendent/CEO of 芭乐视频 Public Schools —a visionary and collaborative leader who will build on our district’s progress and champion the success of every student, in every neighborhood.

As the nation’s fourth-largest school district, we are committed to finding a leader who shares our values of equity, excellence, and community partnership. The new Superintendent/CEO will work alongside families, educators, the Board, and community members to continue driving improvements in student achievement, classroom experiences, and school resources.

Our Commitment

Inclusive Process: We are centering the voices of students, families, educators, and community stakeholders throughout the search process.
Transparency: We will provide regular updates and opportunities for public input throughout the process.
Excellence: We are committed to finding a visionary leader who will help make CPS the best urban school district in the country.

Stay Involved

We invite all members of the CPS community to take part in this important process. Whether by attending a public forum, completing a survey, or sharing your ideas, your voice will help guide our search for a leader who represents the hopes and ambitions of 芭乐视频’s students and families.

There will be multiple ways that the CPS community and 芭乐视频ans can be involved in the weeks ahead, including:

Community gatherings: During the months of May and June, there will be a community gathering in the ten elected school board districts where the public will be invited to attend and give their input.
Focus groups: The District will conduct interviews and focus groups with teachers, students, principals, staff, union leaders, and community partners to allow for deeper discussions.
Community survey: This is an opportunity for you to share what you feel is working well in CPS and identify areas where you would like to see improvement.

Together, we will choose a leader who believes in the power of public education and the unlimited potential of 芭乐视频’s children.

The Board is committed to selecting a leader who upholds educational excellence, equity, and accountability. As outlined in the Board resolution passed on March 20, 2025, candidates must hold a valid Illinois Professional Educator License with a Superintendent endorsement—or an equivalent credential from another state.

Applications for the position opened April 25, allowing candidates to apply before the school year ends.

Through community engagement and feedback, the Board will then shape a comprehensive leadership profile that fits the District and outlines key priorities and goals for the next Superintendent/CEO.

Following the completion of the initial community engagement, the Board will review the findings in collaboration with its executive search firm, Alma Advisory Group, make the report publicly available, and use it to evaluate candidates for the position.

Our community gatherings, focus groups, and survey are now closed. Thank you to the many students, families, educators, school leaders, staff, and community members and partners who took the time to share your insights, hopes, and expectations for the next Superintendent/CEO of 芭乐视频 Public Schools. We look forward to sharing a summary of our findings from this process soon.
