Chicago Public Schools
Thursday, April 24, 2025
3:00 p.m. — 7:00 p.m. CDT
You have the option to document this meeting in person or remotely, via live stream. Please note that Chicago Board of Education meetings tend to run long (the assignment end time is an estimate based on past meetings’ duration).
If you attend the meeting in person, an additional hour will be added to your pay for this assignment. The meeting location is yet to be determined. Please check the agency for the location.
Please note that the CPS frequently reaches attendee capacity, in which case overflow attendees are seated in a different room to view a video broadcast. At 48 hours before the meeting’s start, a limited number of “observer” seats are available for pre-registration at https://www.cpsboe.org/meetings.
If you plan to document remotely, the meeting will be live-streamed at https://www.youtube.com/@ChiPubSchools/streams. The live stream may not appear until or a few minutes after the scheduled start time. If you don’t see it right away, give it a few seconds, then try refreshing your Internet tab to see if it loads. Check the “videos” tab as well.
See also: Slide decks and documents discussed during the meeting will eventually be linked at https://www.cpsboe.org/meetings/past-meetings.
