“Former CPS chief Janice Jackson rules out running for mayor”. —- good.

She should not and would not be what the city needs. And kudos to Ms Jackson for knowing it.

I do agree with the below;

given the nature of the new CPS CEO finding fewer and fewer black and African American representation among his administration.

She’s states:

“I was very proud of the fact that we had five African-American men in cabinet-level leadership at CPS. We’ve never had those kinds of numbers,” Jackson said.

“Representation matters. When you look at the data in Chicago, Black kids are always at the bottom. And you can’t fix that without having Black leaders there. I know, as a Black leader at the table the conversations I had to shift and the things I had to advocate for people to see our children. We need Black leadership at the senior levels at CPS.”
