Chicago Public Schools is offering a collection of guidance and resources regarding the new administration on a new District webpage: cps.edu/NewAdminGuidance. This webpage will be updated frequently to provide the most current publicly-facing information. Alongside the district, we will continue to communicate directly with you about our response to any policy changes at the federal level that impact CPS.
