The challenges facing Chicago’s newly elected Local School Councils
Chicago Public Schools recently wrapped up elections for Local School Councils, or LSCs, at more than 600 schools in the city.
Since 1989, LSCs have won funding for their schools, removed corrupt faculty, renamed schools and even opened new campuses.
Ideally, an LSC is typically made up of a school’s principal, a couple of teachers, parents, community members, and even students. But that’s not always the case.
