Six teachers who sued Chicago Public Schools over their COVID vaccine and testing requirements won a temporary restraining order Friday.
The Sangamon County Judge ruled that the district cannot take action affecting the teachers' employment, such as placing them on unpaid administrative leave or terminating their employment, based on their compliance with COVID-19 testing.
Chicago Public Schools requires teachers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID or submit to weekly testing.In March, CPS went mask optional as did the rest of the state of Illinois, despite objections from the Chicago Teachers Union.
