The Chicago Public School system is grappling with a high rate of documented absences by teachers as contract negotiations demanding higher wages persist.
The Chicago Public School system is suffering from 'chronic absenteeism' among teachers who've skipped more than 10 days of the 2023-2024 school year, according to a new report. State records show that over 41% of CPS teachers exceeded 10 days of absence last year, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In September, students at a Chicago high school were left without a teacher for several weeks due to chronic absenteeism by educators, the Chicago Block Club revealed at the time. 'About 46 percent of the teaching staff had more than 10 absences in 2023, according to CPS data. That means nearly half of Clemente teachers missed the equivalent of at least two weeks of school,' the outlet reported.
