The leaders of the nation’s largest teachers unions are pleading with educators to get Covid-19 vaccines — and facing resistance from their own members
. And a successful back-to-school season hinges on vaccinating school staff while keeping classrooms open with basic health precautions as cases climb in vaccine-resistant communities., researchers with the Center on Reinventing Public Education concluded as part of their latest review of 100 large and urban school systems.
The Chicago Teachers Union estimates between 80 and 90 percent of its members are already fully vaccinated. School district data suggested in June that 67 percent of employees said they were fully vaccinated or had scheduled a vaccination. But vaccines are getting caught up in the latest round of talks between the union and Mayor Lori Lightfoot's administration.
“We are observing what's happening around the country, with students going back into school communities, and how classes are being closed, schools are being closed, and they are making pivots to virtual learning,” CTU vice president Stacy Davis Gates said. “We're looking at how hospitalizations of young people are climbing in some of those places.”
