Paul Vallas isn't returning to Illinois for political office

Carol Marin:
Paul Vallas will not be coming home to Chicago to run for public office.

After months contemplating switching political parties and running for Cook County Board president in 2010 as a Republican, the former Chicago Public Schools chief has decided to renew his current contract as chief of the Recovery School District in New Orleans.

Vallas said today he feels strongly that his work to restore public schools in the Hurricane Katrina-ravished area is not close enough to completion to allow him to leave.
