That perspective is important, she said, as the Trump administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbez.org\/immigration\/2026\/07\/10\/ice-arrests-increase-chicago-tactics-less-publicized-midway-blitz-back-yards-gage-brighton-park\" rel=\"\">continues its aggressive immigration enforcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">One of her priorities is improving support for students from immigrant families.

The nonprofit teaches competitive squash and provides academic support to students on the South Side and in Evanston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">Ayala grew up in Bucktown and attended CPS as a child. He credited a CPS school with helping his dad acclimate to the U.S. That experience shaped Ayala\u2019s belief that schools should be community anchors, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">\u201cI love that my dad found support at a neighborhood school while learning English and navigating a new country,\u201d Ayala said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">Ayala said volunteering with organizations that work with CPS students, such as Mikva Challenge, motivated him to seek a board seat. He saw a \u201cdisconnect between what the board was focused on and what our students need,\u201d Ayala said. He thinks the board spends too much time discussing matters that involve a single school and should be tackling districtwide issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">Ayala wants to focus on improving students\u2019 academic outcomes and evaluating the effectiveness of learning materials, such as the district\u2019s Skyline curriculum, a set of lessons in math, reading, science, social studies, and other subjects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">\u201cAre students making the gains we want them to make and when they\u2019re not, can we figure out why?\u201d Ayala said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">Ayala also wants to address <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.chalkbeat.org\/2025\/chicago-public-schools-student-absenteeism-increases\/\" rel=\"\">high rates of absenteeism<\/a> and thinks improving the student experience can help. For example, he wants the district to pay more attention to addressing bullying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\">The bulk of Ayala\u2019s fundraising has come from a PAC affiliated with SEIU and the Common Ground Collective, an anti-CTU political action committee that is heavily funded by billionaire Michael Sacks and says it aims to engage voters around \u201ceffective progressive policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\"><a title=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/elections\/2026\/graphics\/chicago-school-board-education-voter-guide\/candidates\/jesus-ayala-jr\/\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/elections\/2026\/graphics\/chicago-school-board-education-voter-guide\/candidates\/jesus-ayala-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Read Ayala Jr.\u2019s full questionnaire<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1px4eze-0 egVxCn body-paragraph\"><i>Emmanuel Camarillo is an education reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times.
