The Chicago School Board Voter Guide was created by staff at WBEZ, the Chicago Sun-Times and Chalkbeat Chicago. We emailed a questionnaire to all candidates. Answers have been lightly edited for typos, grammar and consistency in styling, but not for content. Biographical information was culled from questionnaires, resumes, campaign websites and interviews.
