Does Chicago Have a ‘Lame Duck’ School Board?

This Wednesday, the Chicago Board of Education will hold their first official meeting since Mayor Brandon Johnson replaced all but one member of the board earlier this month. While Johnson’s move is typical of new administrations, it holds extra significance since this will be the last fully appointed school board before Chicagoans begin electing members next year. Host Jacoby Cochran talks with WBEZ Education Reporter Sarah Karp about the challenges this board will face and if they'll be more than a “lame duck” school board.
