Letter of Intent
CPS has created a rubric to help schools develop high quality applications. However, please note that CPS may consider factors in addition to the rubric and incomplete applications will not be considered.
In evaluating Letters of Intent, we look for schools that have strong or increasing enrollment to support program implementation with fidelity.
Letters and accompanying documents should be emailed to programsfocus@cps.edu no later than 5:00 p.m. on October 26, 2018.
Network Chiefs can fill out the attached form and send it back to programsfocus@cps.edu.
Community Meetings
The Annual Regional Analysis (ARA) supports the district's mission to provide every student with a high-quality education in every neighborhood by giving stakeholders a common set of information regarding school quality, enrollment patterns, school options, and program offerings by region.
ARA workshops will be led by senior CPS leaders and provide members of the community with an opportunity to learn about and discuss the schools in their region. Each meeting will begin with a short presentation by CPS leadership on the ARA and conclude with facilitated table discussions to brainstorm ways to invest in and strengthen schools throughout Chicago.
