    Thank you!

    The draft policy received a staggering 118 public comments, the most for a policy of this type in years. Our team in School Quality Measurement and Research is wildly grateful to our partners and stakeholders that made this possible. The level of engagement and feedback we received is heart warming.


    What's Next?

    Our team, along with CPS leadership, is now editing the policy to incorporate all of the great feedback we received. We'll be posting the new policy and sending the policy to the Board of Education for a vote later this month. Please stay tuned for the outcome of that vote and potential opportunities for continued engagement, feedback, and volunteer opportunities in the months to come.
