State lawmakers are out with yet another proposed map of voting districts for Chicago’s first elected school board slated for November 2024 — and they’re hoping it will be passed by legislators who will gather in Springfield next week for the end of a fall veto session.
The new map, released late Tuesday, aims to satisfy advocates who want a map that reflects a voting population that reflects the minority-majority school district. The new map has fewer majority-white districts than previous maps and more districts where Latino Chicagoans are either the majority or a plurality.
