Chicago Public Schools, Office of Portfolio Management

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is the third-largest school district in the United States, serving over 350,000 students in more than 600 schools and employing nearly 36,000 people, most of them teachers. CPS has set ambitious goals to ensure that every student, in every school and every neighborhood, has access to a world-class learning experience that prepares each for success in college, career, and civic life. In order to fulfill this mission, we make three commitments to our students, their families, and all Chicagoans: academic progress, financial stability, and integrity. Six core principles are embedded within these commitments - student-centered, whole child, equity, academic excellence, community partnership, and continuous learning.
