Enclosed is a copy of the Agenda for the Board Meeting to be held on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. The meeting will be held at CPS Loop Office, 42 West Madison Street, Garden Level, Board Room. The Board and the Chief Executive Officer have determined that registered speakers who wish to present during Public Participation may have the option to participate in person at the location of the Board meeting or virtually via an electronic platform. The public will have access to the meeting via live stream at cpsboe.org.

Public Participation Guidelines are available on www.cpsboe.org.

For the January 30, 2025 Board Meeting, advance registration to speak will be available beginning Tuesday, January 28th at 10:30 a.m. and will close on Wednesday, January 29th at 10:30 a.m. Anyone interested in speaking can sign up. After the 24-hour registration period, a lottery will randomly select a set number of speakers from those who registered. For example, if 100 people register, the lottery might select 30 of them to speak. This process gives everyone a fair chance to address the Board. Advance registration during this period is available by the following methods:

To ensure equity of access to address the Board, an individual may not speak at back-to-back meetings and more than one meeting per month.
