Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has appointed a new school board, days after all seven members resigned amid an escalating fight over control of the public schools in the nation’s third-largest city.

The school board currently consists of seven members appointed by the city. In January, the board will switch to a hybrid format where 10 members are elected and 11 continue to be appointed by the mayor. By 2027, the Chicago Board of Education will be made up of 21 positions all elected by the public.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announced new appointments to the city's school board after the entire panel resigned earlier this month. On Monday, Johnson announced six new school board members with plans to name a seventh later at a news conference held at a South Side church.
