With a little more than a month before Chicago Public Schools students return to their classrooms, interim CPS CEO Jose Torres has set a new goal for his staff: engage 100,000 kids who are at risk of not re-enrolling in their school.

Speaking Wednesday at his first Board of Education meeting since he was appointed as interim CEO, Torres said the district’s “true north” goal before reopening schools must be to reach these students and make sure they are prepared to return to CPS.
“I need everyone’s help to accomplish that,” he said. “I’m focusing all my energy and efforts to making sure all students and families are ready to go back to school.”
