Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson asked Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez to resign from his position during a meeting Thursday night, according to multiple sources.The decision from Johnson comes just one day after the Chicago Board of Education voted unanimously to pass a five-year plan for CPS. At the same time, the Chicago Teachers Union, who supported Johnson's candidacy for mayor, also called for his removal.
The recently unveiled five-year plan for CPS was described as a list of goals and strategies the district aims to achieve by 2029. The district said it wants to redefine student success, moving forward with what it called an"ambitious, equity-driven" vision to close a long-standing opportunity gap."This strategic plan is saying, in fact, we are going to organize the work of our district around a very different idea of how we measure student success, how we think about student growth," Martinez said.
The Chicago Teachers Union, however, said while the plan"admits that there are disparities across the district," Martinez's"policy is to make cuts that make inequity worse not better."
