The surprise move comes shortly after Mayor Lightfoot appointed Scott's sister to replace him on the City Council.
Ald. Michael Scott Jr., right, was given a chorus of well-wishes and goodbye hugs during his retirement from City Council on May 25, 2022.
“Selecting a member for the Chicago Board of Education is a decision that will impact thousands of students and must be made carefully,” Lightfoot said in a press release. “I am confident that Michael Scott Jr., Sulema Medrano Novak, and Paige Ponder will be great additions to the board. Their collective years of experience and dedication will be a great asset to our board and will benefit our students and teachers for years to come.
There were only two vacancies on the Board of Education before Friday. Luisiana Meléndez and Lucino Sotelo had previously announced their departures. Far South Side activist Joyce Chapman was appointed last month to fill a 2021 board vacancy. The board of education’s next meeting is scheduled for July 27.
