Neighborhood schools that do not fill all of their seats with children who live within the boundary may fill the remaining slots by lottery, with children from overcrowded neighborhood schools, or with students allowed a transfer under the No Child Left Behind Act. Because of school reform, Chicago’s schools have an unusual governing system. The schools are an office of the city, headed by a CEO who reports to the mayor. Each school has an elected Local School Council (LSC) made up of parent, teacher and community representatives. High school LSCs also have student representatives. Each LSC has the authority to select the principal, approve the school’s academic achievement plan and set the annual budget. Many schools also have parent-teacher organizations to assist in special L E F T: P H OTO S B Y J O H N B O O Z / C O U R T E S Y O F C H I C A G O P U B L I C S C H O O L S programs and fund-raising. Some schools have additional fund-raising organizations to work with community donors and grantmakers.
