Chicago Public Schools is currently the third largest school district in the US, with more than 400,000 students enrolled. The position of CEO of the CPS was created by Mayor Richard M.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
