A Cook County judge ruled in favor of embattled Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez, stating that school board members cannot participate in negotiations with the Chicago Teachers Union unless invited by Martinez. The decision re-affirms his role at the helm of the district, despite the Johnson-appointed school board voting unanimously to fire Martinez without cause on Friday. The judge also granted Martinez a Temporary Restraining Order against the school board.

"It's kind of simple at this point, Pedro is in charge," Davis Gates said."We'll be here on Thursday at 10 a.m. with his bargaining team," she said.
