Groups, including Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, Parents 4 Teachers and the Kenwood Oakland Community Organization, made the trip to Springfield to lobby for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/legislation\/BillStatus.asp?DocTypeID=HB&amp;DocNum=557&amp;GAID=13&amp;SessionID=88&amp;LegID=85009\" target=\"_blank\">a bill <\/a>that would establish an elected school board in Chicago, the only district in the state with a board appointed by the mayor. However, the bill stalled in the education committee with lawmakers calling for adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to step back and look at policy and procedure and make sure it\u2019s right,\u201d said state Sen. Kimberly Lightford (D-4th), who, like many of the lawmakers on the 15-member senate committee, supports the idea of an elected school board.<\/p>\n<p>The bill, which passed the House overwhelmingly in March, would create a 15-member representative board for Chicago\u2019s nearly 400,000-student district, the third-largest in the nation. Those members would then select a superintendent instead of the mayor choosing the board and the district CEO, the current practice.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers were concerned there isn\u2019t enough time to implement such a major overhaul, such as drawing a map by January 2017 designating representative districts and holding the first election in March. Some lawmakers said they weren\u2019t sure Chicagoans would want a suburban or Downstate legislator drawing the boundaries in their city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge change in what we presently see,\u201d said state Sen. David S. Luechtefeld (R-58th), adding the current system allows for accountability because the mayor still has to answer to the public every four years.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois\u00a0Sen. Karen McConnaughay (R-33rd) wants to support the bill but won\u2019t while Chicago Public Schools battles budget headaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very bad time to do this,\u201d McConnaughay said. \u201cCPS is awash in red ink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But parents are anxious to get the bill passed. And state Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-13th), who sponsored the bill, says an elected board will empower black and Latino Chicagoans to improve the condition of their schools.<\/p>\n<p>Parents who showed up to lobby state officials said they feel Mayor Rahm Emanuel is responsible for a board that is out of touch with their communities. They point to the abrupt closing of 50 schools in 2013, largely in black and Latino neighborhoods, and budget cuts they feel they should be able to weigh in on.<\/p>\n<p>Aiyanna Allen, a mother of a Lindblom Academy freshman, says she\u2019s tired of instability in the district and wants a voice in her son\u2019s education. She has moved him around to several schools to ensure he gets the best chance possible to get into a good college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually had to quit my full-time job to homeschool for seventh grade because of the lack of options and quality education where I live,\u201d said Allen, who lives in Kenwood. \u201cEvery time you turn around and go into class, something has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeannette Taylor, a CPS parent, says parents in Bronzeville have been fighting for an elected school board for over 10 years, but she\u2019s hopeful despite the bill\u2019s delay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy it didn\u2019t get killed, but I\u2019m thinking, what other proof do you need that the board needs to be elected?\u201d Taylor said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming, so I\u2019m just happy to see that it\u2019s come to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Chicagoans, including Aiyanna Allen (far right), wait outside a packed committee room to decide the fate of the elected school board bill.
