Ousted Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez bids farewell in final Board of Education meeting

Thursday marked the final Board of Education meeting for embattled Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez, who landed a new job after previous board members fired him late last year.

Martinez reflected on his time with CPS, calling the chance to lead one of the nation’s biggest school districts the experience of a lifetime. Martinez revealed that the journey first began after his family migrated from Mexico when he was 5 years old.
