Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard, one of Mayor Rahm Emanuels premier hires, is out by mutual agreement with City Hall after just 17 months on the job, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
Brizard was Emanuels pick to lead CPS and push through the mayors aggressive education agenda. But with the citys first teachers strike in 25 years in the rear view mirror and a new contract to be implemented, Emanuel said its time for a clean break.
Brizard leaves his $250,000-a-year job to be permanently replaced with Barbara Byrd-Bennett, a former teacher, principal and Cleveland schools CEO who has been filling in as Chicagos interim chief education officer for the past six months.
Byrd-Bennett, 62, played a pivotal role in negotiating an end to the strike and upstaged Brizard in the process. Terms of Brizards exit were still being finalized, but are expected to include a full-years salary.
