My Priorities
Over 20 years of public service has taught me what works. Here's how I'll bring it to our schools.
-Erika Diaz-Chavez
Academic Achievement
I believe our schools should set high expectations for every student — and back that up by giving teachers and staff the tools and support they actually need to deliver in the classroom. Decisions should follow what works, not what's politically convenient.
Parent Voice & School of Choice
Parents know their kids best. I want to build real partnerships between families and school leadership, where parents have a genuine say in the decisions that affect their kids — not just a seat in the back of the room. And I'll fight to protect high-quality school options, so every family can find the right fit, wherever they are in the district.
Fiscal Responsiblity
As a board member, I'll keep close watch on how our schools spend taxpayer money, cut waste where I find it, and make sure resources go where they're supposed to — straight to students and classrooms.
Safe, Welcoming Schools
Kids can't do their best work if they don't feel safe. I want every school in District 7B to be a place where students and educators feel supported, respected, and ready to learn — no matter their background.
What I'll Fight For in District 7B
I'm running for the Chicago Board of Education because our schools need leadership rooted in community, focused on results, and able to bring different neighborhoods to the same table. That's the kind of leadership I've practiced for more than 20 years with the Chicago Park District — showing up in neighborhoods, working directly with residents, and taking responsibility for how public programs actually run. As a board member, I'll keep close watch on how our schools spend taxpayer money, cut waste where I find it, and make sure resources go where they're supposed to — straight to students and classrooms.
