Leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union approved a plan over COVID safety protocols, ending a dispute that canceled classes for five days.
"CPS put a great proposal on the table that both bargaining teams discussed in detail throughout the day," she said."Now we'll be able to get teachers back into the classroom tomorrow, and our kids back on Wednesday."
She added:"Switching completely back to remote learning again without a public health reason to do so would have created and amplified the social, emotional and economic turmoil that far too many are our families are facing. "We can never forget the impact on the lives of our children and our families. They must always be front and center. Every decision has to be made with them at the forefront.""Some will ask who won and who lost. No one wins when our students are out of a place where they can learn the best and where they're safest," she said.
"After being out of school for four days in a row, I'm sure many students will be excited to get back into the classroom with their teachers and peers and their parents and guardians can now breathe a much deserved sigh of relief."
