WHO IS
CPAA?
The Chicago Principals and Administrators Association (CPAA) is the constitutional voice of Chicago’s public school principals and assistant principals, standing as the essential hub for school leadership. Our mission is to ensure that every school community benefits from outstanding leadership, and that those leaders have the resources, respect, and support needed for the growth and success of our children. CPAA works to amplify social justice issues, foster inclusive school environments, provide legal support, and deliver professional development tailored to the needs of school leaders. We advocate for progressive education policies and fight for the resources necessary to empower our leaders and schools. As an affiliate of the American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA) and the AFL-CIO, CPAA is deeply committed to collective bargaining and solidarity across labor unions. We stand with all who seek equity in education and believe that by investing in school leaders, we secure the future of our children and communities. At CPAA, our mission reflects our values and guides everything we do—building a better, more just educational landscape for every student, every school, and every neighborhood in Chicago.
