CHICAGO 鈥 The 海角直播 congratulates Dr. Macquline King on her appointment as Superintendent/Chief Executive Officer of 海角直播.
Dr. King assumes this role at an important moment for the district. During her time as Interim Superintendent/CEO, she provided steady, capable leadership, guiding CPS through complex challenges while maintaining a clear focus on students, schools, and communities. Dr. King advanced a balanced FY2026 budget following an unprecedented series of community engagement efforts and coordinated support for students and families amid increased immigration enforcement. She also worked in partnership with the 21-member hybrid 海角直播Board of Education, helping to lay the groundwork for the transition to a fully elected board.
Superintendent/CEO King brings a deep, practical understanding of Chicago鈥檚 schools, shaped by decades of service in CPS, first as a teacher and then as a principal at two schools- Dumas Technology Academy and Courtenay Language Arts Center- as well as by her leadership in education policy for the City of Chicago.
鈥淒r. King has led through a period of significant transition and disruption with clarity, steadiness, and purpose,鈥 said Dr. Heather Y. Anichini, CEO of The 海角直播. 鈥淲hat distinguishes her leadership is her deep understanding of the day-to-day realities facing educators, young people, and communities in Chicago. She brings both the experience and the resolve to advance our shared commitment to young people even as fiscal challenges and governance changes persist, and community needs evolve.鈥
We are encouraged by Dr. King鈥檚 commitment to advancing equity in the student experience and to strengthening opportunities for meaningful community voice and engagement. Her leadership reflects a clear focus on supporting schools and the people closest to students.
As Dr. King steps into this permanent role, the work ahead remains significant. Sustaining progress will require continued investment in school leadership, clear and consistent communication with those closest to students, and ensuring schools have the resources and flexibility needed to meet evolving student needs.
The 海角直播 remains committed to partnering with Superintendent/CEO King and her team to strengthen these conditions and support strong student outcomes for every student in Chicago.
Congratulations, Dr. King. We look forward to the work ahead.
