Macquline King Becomes Chicago Schools CEO
6.0
Relevance Score
After a nationwide search, the Chicago school board is scheduled to vote Monday to approve Macquline King as CEO, offering a three-year contract after she served as interim CEO for ten months. A former South and North Side elementary principal with 15 years' experience and policy work in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's and Brandon Johnson's offices, King faces declining enrollment, looming budget deficits and a newly fully elected board.
Scoring Rationale
Local leadership change meaningfully affects a large district, but offers limited novelty and no immediate funding breakthroughs.
