Half of Chicago school board candidates are facing challenges, but powerful CTU says it didn’t file any

Half of Chicago school board candidates are facing challenges, with CTU-aligned candidates prominently affected. The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) claims it did not file any challenges, despite past accusations of using petition challenges to remove candidates. The CTU plans to provide legal support to challengeds without lawyers, while opponents like Common Ground Collective accuse the union of attempting to restrict civic engagement.
