Board withdraws earlier plan to create district‑managed Chicago High School for the Arts after school stabilization

Member Bole moved to withdraw a previously filed resolution (RS6) to establish the Chicago High School for the Arts as a district‑managed fine and performing arts school. Bole said the school's leadership and principal had stabilized the start of the year and that immediate disruption to students would be counterproductive. "I'm not going away," she said, urging continued advocacy and restoration of teaching artists where needed.

Board members and district staff who visited the school described improvements in instructional scheduling and leadership stability. President Harden and others praised the central‑office teams and the principal for stabilizing operations. The board approved the motion to withdraw RS6 by recorded vote (19–0 recorded in the meeting transcript), and Bole said she would continue to press for staffing restoration and oversight behind the scenes.
