Serving on a Local School Council (LSC) provides a unique opportunity to become engaged in your school community and play an active role in making policy decisions affecting your school. LSCs are also critical to ensuring positive student outcomes and a dynamic school environment.
 
This year, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is holding district-wide LSC elections where members of the community, educators, parents, and high school students have an opportunity to run as a candidate for seats in a school’s LSC. We encourage you to consider running for a seat at a CPS school where you have a vested interest—whether it’s near your home or office, the school your child attends, or a school you want to see better things for! If elected, LSC representatives serve a two-year term and high school student representatives serve a one-year term.
