Chicago Public Schools delays return for in-person teachers following union vote
Chicago Public Schools announced Sunday they will postpone the in-person start for kindergarten through eighth grade teachers after the Chicago Teachers Union announced voted over the weekend to continue remote work.
Teachers were scheduled to report to in-person learning on Monday, but that was pushed back to Wednesday, according to CPS. "While we agree with our labor partners on many aspects of a smooth expansion of in-person learning, our discussions are ongoing. To ensure we reach a resolution without a disruption to student learning, we’ve agreed to push back the return of K-8 teachers, staff to Wed, 1/27," CPS said in astatement.
Kindergarten through eighth grade are slated to return to in-person learning on Feb. 1. Pre-K and special education students have been going to in-person classes since the beginning of the month.
In astatement, the union said that there was concern among members regarding the rise in COVID-19 cases and the small number of students who have opted to return to in-person learning.
Chicago Public Schools said 37% of parents surveyed intend for their kids to return, according toABC station WLS. The union noted that the number of eligible students who can currently return to in-person is also low.
"But the fact of the matter remains this: 19% of students have returned. The district doesn’t need anywhere near all of our membership to return to meet that need," CTU said in a statement.
Some parents who wished to have their children return to class in person took up their pleas directly to the union this weekend.
"Parents should not be vilified or bullied for needing a choice to return to in-person learning," Sarah Sachen told WLS.
