As a school showdown drags on for a second week, there is definitely no class for Chicago Public Schools on Monday.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot has made it clear that she does not agree with the Chicago Teachers Union and wants teachers and students back in the classroom.A rally is planned across the city Monday as negotiations continue.
But the mayor’s office said this is not an apples to apples comparison, going on to say it’s disingenuous to compare the City of Chicago’s telework policy to the Chicago Teacher’s Union leadership’s attempt to unilaterally impose system-wide remote schooling on hundreds of thousands of families through an illegal work stoppage.
“I think that there has to be an option for both sides of this argument,” she said. “Those that want to go in person who, for there kid that is the best option, they should be able to do that. And for those that want remote, we need to be able to provide options for them as well.”
