An investigation into leaks of internal information from the Chicago Board of Education has concluded without identifying the source of the leaks. The investigation was prompted by the revelation of finalists for the Chicago Public Schools CEO position and communications regarding a special meeting to raise property taxes. Board President Sean Harden expressed disappointment over the lack of findings, emphasizing that the leaks undermined the board's integrity. However, two board members, Ellen Rosenfeld and Che “Rhymefest” Smith, did not participate, with Rosenfeld arguing that engaging with the press should not warrant an investigation. Critics, including board member Jessica Biggs, labeled the investigation as 'petty politics' and a distraction from the board's primary focus on student achievement. The investigation, conducted by the law firm Salvatore Prescott Porter & Porter, has cost the board $59,202 this school year. The report highlighted ongoing tensions between elected and appointed board members, which may have contributed to the leaks.
