Chicago Teachers Union leads in nine school board seats but loses presidency

Won board presidency; will preside over a board where CTU-backed candidates won or led in nine seats, with four races too close to call.

Chicago's first fully elected school board remains split after the Nov. 4 election. Union-backed candidates had won or led in nine of 21 seats as of Nov. 5, and the Chicago Teachers Union says it could win as many as 10 of the 20 district seats. Four races are still too close to call.
