It is up to the new 21 member partly elected, partly mayoral-appointed school board to name Pedro Martinez replacement.
They are down to five candidates, and one comes from Mayor Brandon Johnson's office.
The board will hold a virtual meeting for the CPS community at noon.

The school board is likely to vote on an interim superintendent at its June board meeting. Members are hopeful a permanent superintendent will be chosen by the second half of the next school year.
Martinez has accepted a new job as Education Commissioner in Massachusetts.
