Negotiations between the Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Teachers Union over reopening schools continued throughout Tuesday and were expected to continue into the evening, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and CPS CEO Janice Jackson said in a statement as they try to head off a teachers strike.
The pair called for urgency, saying it’s “critical that we work through the remaining issues in a timely manner so that our families and staff can fully focus on the high quality education our students deserve.”
... Lightfoot said the issues still at stake are vaccines and accommodations for teachers with health concerns. She said the city has provided thousands of accommodations to teachers who are worried about their safety, but union representatives have stressed too few accommodations were granted. The union also shared a social media post Monday with a link to a December Tribune story regarding the number of accommodation requests that were denied.
