KIPP Chicago Schools staff are supported in their demanding work by experienced and dedicated leadership who have themselves proven successful in the teaching role.  Our leaders maintain consistent school-wide systems and procedures -- academic, behavioral, cultural, logistical -- designed to permit staff to do their best work.

Our supports for our staff’s work include, but are not limited to the following:

  • A recent model of Mac laptop computer

  • A monthly stipend to support the cost of mobile phone usage
