Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has appointed seven new members to the Chicago Board of Education following the resignation of the entire previous board.
The mass resignations came after escalating tensions between the mayor and Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez over control of the district. Johnson has defended his actions, stating that his goal is to prevent budget cuts and invest in the city's children.
The new appointments are seen as a move to align the board with the mayor's vision for the future of Chicago's public schools.
