Chicago Public Schools

Chicago Public Schools made 35 filings covering 35 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $74,572 a year. 34 of those 35 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.

Green-card sponsorship

Chicago Public Schools filed 21 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-06 and 2026-06-12, of which 19 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
