CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Public Schools CEO Ron Huberman will step down later this month.
According to school officials, Huberman tendered his resignation to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and Board of Education President Mary Richardson-Lowery. His last day in the $230,000-a-year job Nov. 29.
In a brief statement Wednesday, Daley said Huberman has shown "great leadership" throughout his 16 years in city government, and thanked him for his service.
After Daley announced last month he won't seek another term, Huberman made clear he had no desire to serve another mayor. Daley responded that "everybody is replaceable."
The 38-year-old Huberman said in a statement he is grateful for the chance to serve the city of Chicago and Daley as his leader.
