Who really has power over Chicago’s public schools?
In this episode of Chicago BluePrint, we break down the 2026 Local School Council (LSC) Elections and why they matter more than most people realize.

We’re joined by Myra Winding, Assistant Director for Chicago’s Local School Councils (LSC), who explains what LSCs actually do, who can run, how much time it really takes, and why everyday parents and community members—not politicians—help shape the future of Chicago schools.

This episode cuts through the confusion and myths so you can clearly understand:

• What Local School Councils are and why they matter

• How much real power LSC members actually have

• Who’s eligible to run (no education background required)

• The real time commitment for parents and community members

• How to get involved—even if you’re not ready to run

• Key deadlines for the March 18, 2026 LSC election

If you care about education, community leadership, and having a real voice where decisions are made, this episode is for you.

📌 Election Date: March 18, 2026
