CPS is a massive institution. Families should not need to become experts in district bureaucracy to understand what is happening in their own schools.

Transparency means more than uploading a 500-page document to a website.

Information is only truly public if ordinary people can understand and use it.

I will push for:

​

• Plain-language explanations of major Board proposals before votes.

• Easy-to-understand school and district budget information.

• Public reporting on progress toward Board goals.

• Clear explanations of capital-project decisions and timelines.

• Accessible information about contracts and major expenditures throughout the year.

• Multilingual communications about decisions affecting families.

• Earlier public notice and engagement on major policy changes.

• ​

And when something isn't working, I will say so.

An elected School Board should not function as a rubber stamp for CPS administration. Board members have an independent responsibility to ask questions, demand evidence, scrutinize spending, and represent the people who elected them.
