Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defied the City Council and announced six appointees to the Chicago Board of Education after all members of the previous school board resigned.
During a news conference, Johnson rejected demands from the City Council that he should pause the appointment process. He also responded to criticism that he has been too heavily involved with Chicago Public Schools, saying his mission has been to avoid staffing and programming cuts in the city’s schools.
