What is a Strategic Partner

A CPS Strategic Partner is an organization that collaborates closely with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) to support and enhance educational initiatives across the district. These partners engage in multiple areas of focus, such as civic engagement, research, and community action, contributing to CPS's mission and vision.

CPS Strategic Partners play a vital role in fostering an environment where schools like Simpson Academy can thrive by leveraging community resources and expertise to support student growth and achievement.
