The Spirit of ALL
We introduced the ALL Chicago program in response to the recent shift in CPS governance from a 7-member appointed school board to a 21-member elected school board. This initiative is designed to bolster the education of community members exploring their interest in school board membership and education advocacy.
Being a school board member is a difficult job. The minute you sit in that seat, you’re making big decisions that impact hundreds of thousands of young people. School board members need to be ready to be effective on day one. We also know that when school board members and education advocates come together, change is possible.
VISION
We envision a democratically elected, anti-racist school board that partners with community and district administration to meet the educational goals and needs of Chicago’s students, families, and communities, especially those furthest from opportunity.
Our Vision
We envision a democratically elected, effective, and functional school board that partners with local community leaders and district administration to manage Chicago’s public school system in a way that meaningfully attends to the educational aspirations, goals, and needs of Chicago’s students, families, and communities – especially those furthest from opportunity.
Our Leadership
Our community of leaders is deeply dedicated to ALL’s mission. They bring strong backgrounds across several sectors to develop and lead our programs and create spaces for growth and understanding of the evolving education landscape.

I feel far more confident in my ability to navigate the political landscape within the education system in order to advocate more effectively.
