Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted efforts by the Chicago Teachers Union to approve a switch to remote-learning, saying that such a vote would amount to an “illegal work stoppage” and that the city is confident that children are safer in classrooms thanks to investments made in a variety of mitigations.
“Dr. Allison Arwady tells me that the schools are safe, and that there is no reason to shut down the entire system,” she said. “If we pause, what do we say to those parents who can’t afford to hire somebody to come watch their kids, or ship their kids off to some other place? What do we say to those students who are struggling?”
CTU leaders have argued that the current surge is making teachers and students more vulnerable, and that the district has already botched safety protocols, including a holiday testing program and data collection. The CTU vote is expected to conclude at approximately 9 p.m. If the vote to return to remote learning passes, CPS officials say that classes will be canceled Wednesday, and remote learning would not take place.
