Dear neighbors,
When I first ran for the Chicago Board of Education, I made you a promise: to put our students first and make sure every child in District 6A has the schools they deserve. I'm proud to report back on what we've accomplished together.
I came to this Board with a plan, and we've delivered — with cleaner buildings, smarter spending, and real career opportunities for our kids.
Removing Mold, Lead, and Asbestos Our children cannot learn in toxic buildings. I created the Healthy Green Schools Fund to remove mold, lead pipes, and asbestos from schools across the district. Healthier buildings mean better attendance, better focus, and better outcomes for every student.
Responsible Spending I championed the Healthy Green Schools Resolution, which passed unanimously, launching solar panels, heat pumps, and geothermal systems across the district. I made sure the energy savings and rebates from these projects are reinvested directly into our classrooms — saving CPS millions in utility costs and freeing up funds where they belong.
Career and Technical Education Our students deserve pathways to good jobs. Under my leadership, CPS is building job training directly into clean energy projects, giving students hands-on experience in solar, construction, and clean energy fields — skills that will last a lifetime.
This work is just the beginning. I'm asking for your support as I continue fighting for the schools our kids deserve. Join our campaign at anushaforboe@gmail.com and let's keep building together.

Anusha’s Priorities
As a former middle school math teacher, Anusha knows firsthand the challenges facing our students and teachers. To increase academic outcomes for our students, Anusha will fight for the following:
🍎 Pre-K and Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is a critical phase where foundational skills are developed, significantly influencing a child's long-term academic success and social-emotional growth. Research consistently shows that children who attend high-quality Pre-K programs are more likely to excel academically, graduate from high school, and achieve greater success in their careers and lives. By prioritizing and expanding access to quality Pre-K programs, we can address disparities early and set our students up for success through high school and beyond.
🍎 Mental Health and Wellness
Students may face various challenges that impact their performance and behavior in the classroom, whether related to issues at home or problems at school, such as bullying. To become thriving learners, they need robust mental health and wellness support. We need to invest in student mental health and make sure every school has a counselor and social worker so that we can improve academic performance, attendance, and graduation rates.
🍎 Career and Technical Education
Our students need more access to Career and Technical Education (CTE) to prepare them for the workforce by providing practical skills and industry-specific knowledge. Through hands-on learning, CTE equips students with the tools necessary to succeed in a variety of career pathways, preparing them for tomorrow’s job market. CTE promotes innovation, entrepreneurship, and postsecondary success while offering inclusive education opportunities for students with diverse interests and learning styles.
Endorsements
Anusha has the support of state legislators across the 6th Disitrict. She will build coalitions to bring additional state funding for our students in Chicago Public Schools.
