Just as last week’s LSC results are released, CPS announced supplemental elections will be held May 18 at schools where not enough candidates ran to fill the council.
West Side advocate and community development consultant, Valerie Leonard, is urging residents to contact their alderman before tomorrow’s 10 a.m. special Chicago City Council meeting.
Elections for all CPS elementary schools will be held today from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the same time tomorrow at all high schools.

Like others, the school won’t have enough candidates on Wednesday’s ballot to fill the open positions.
While the school’s principal and LSC coordinator declined to speak with AustinTalks, the office manager and previous LSC coordinator said the issue, as well as increasing attendance, will require the attention of newly elected members.
The new members elected Wednesday will help plan the school’s longer day.
Winners of the April 18 election will help the school’s staff determine how to plan the longer day.
Monday’s 2:30 p.m. event will allow the public to learn about those running in the April 18 election.
