Chicago Public Schools CEO Janice Jackson to step down at end of school year

CHICAGO - Chicago Public Schools CEO Janice Jackson announced Monday she will be resigning at the conclusion of the school year this July.
In a letter to CPS families, Jackson detailed her lifelong love for the district and said in her final months at the helm she will focus on preparing schools for a full reopening in the fall. CPS has been an integral part of my life first as a student, most importantly as a parent, and most humbly as the CEO, Jackson wrote. It is with that adoration that I have led this great school district as CEO for the past four years. While I feel there is still more work to be done in CPS, I also believe it is time to pass the torch to new leadership for the next chapter.

Planned party ban protested
Thousands of people on Sunday took to the streets of Lisbon to protest a call for the far-right anti-immigration Chega (Enough) party to be banned. “Shame,” “We will resist to the end” and “For freedom of expression, against corruption” were among slogans written on placards at the march. A heavy security presence flanked the march, which drew protesters from across the country, responding to a call by Chega. Former presidential candidate Ana Gomes, a socialist, is leading the call for a Chega ban, going to court in February. There are also calls for a probe into the party’s finances. Gomes has said Chega harbors xenophobic ideas in contravention of Portugal’s constitution.
