To many the Emanuel announcement that he won't run for a third term as Mayor of Chicago came as a blockbuster. With nearly a dozen in the race and facing mounting resistance the Mayor's departure from the race certainly means that the landscape has changed substantially.
From my standpoint with Emanuel stepping down there may be an impact on the public schools in couple of major areas. It will be interesting to see if any of the candidates will propose that the CPS Board of Education be an elected body or continue to be appointed by the Mayor.
It has been no secret that the Mayor has had a frosty relationship the CTU. Perhaps a fresh voice at City Hall and at the Chicago Teacher's Union will prove fruitful.
The issue of education will certainly be towards the front burner in what promises to be a hotly contested race in 2019.
