Chicago’s transition to an elected school board is now official, with Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Monday signing a law that will give voters the power to elect almost half of the body’s members this year.

Under the new law, voters will elect 10 members in Novembers while Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will appoint 10 members of his choosing, plus the board president. That leaves the board under mayoral control until 2027, when the city would move to a fully-elected school board.
