The Chicago Teachers Union says its members will be in schools Monday but it awaits the outcome of an unfair labor complaint.
Students in Chicago Public Schools are slated to shift to a mask optional policy Monday, despite an agreement with the teachers union, which had successfully negotiated for the COVID-19 safeguard to remain in place through the end of the school year.
“On Monday, our members will be in schools just like any other Monday … trying to keep themselves, their colleagues and students safe,” CTU spokesman Ronnie Reese said in a Friday email. DeVore, a downstate attorney who has said he plans to seek the Republican nomination for attorney general, has led legal challenges to Pritzker’s pandemic mitigation efforts, including lawsuits against CPS by parents seeking an end to masking, and by city educators opposed to vaccine requirements.
“With the ink barely dry on the new 2022 COVID Safety Agreement, CPS determined to rescind one the agreement’s central safety mitigation measures,” a union attorney said in a Thursday letter to the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board. “Far fewer people are getting sick, ending up in the hospital, and losing their lives to COVID-19,” he added. “However we feel about masks, I think we can all agree that this is positive progress.”
In addition, Martinez said an entire class may be required to wear masks, “at the direction of Chicago Department of Public Health.”
