Chicago Public Schools CEO denied reports that he will resign soon. That said, his future in Chicago with a new Mayor is uncertain. Speculation is that he will either resign before the Mayor’s transition next May, or he will be replaced after a new Mayor takes over.

It’s time to get the district back on track.
