The new proposal from the Chicago Teachers Union includes a metric for closing all schools due to a COVID-19 surge, which the mayor and the schools chief strongly oppose. From WBEZ:
In a bold, high-stakes move, the Chicago Teachers Union on Saturday afternoon laid out publicly the terms of what it is calling a “full, comprehensive safety agreement” in hopes it will prompt Mayor Lori Lightfoot and school district officials to meet its demands and end the standoff that started on Wednesday.includes a metric for closing all schools due to a COVID-19 surge, which the mayor and the schools chief strongly oppose. They favor a school-by-school approach instead.
Sharkey called remote learning an imperfect tool but one that was necessary short term at a time when everyone was making hard choices. CTU leaders would not say they were presenting their “last and best proposal,” and indicated they would continue bargaining with the mayor and her team. However, they said they don’t see many places where they could bend.
But on Thursday, Lightfoot argued emphatically that a districtwide metric is unnecessary. She said the district doesn’t need to go all remote because most teachers and many students are vaccinated. She and Martinez also said it doesn’t take into account that some areas of the city have higher vaccination rates and significantly lower positivity rates.
The other proposal that Lightfoot has already rejected centers on the union’s insistence that children could be randomly tested for COVID-19 unless a parent expressly opts them out.
