Gov. Pritzker vetoed legislation that would have guaranteed COVID-19-related sick leave for school employees.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker vetoed legislation Monday that would have guaranteed COVID-19-related sick leave for school employees, while signaling support for a “compromise” plan that would limit compensation to only those who are fully vaccinated.
Officials with Pritzker’s office said in a statement Monday the governor and union leaders had “negotiated a compromise that will keep students and teachers safely in the classroom without penalizing vaccinated employees for taking COVID-required sick time.
Members of the Chicago Teachers Union listen to speakers talk about safety concerns at schools outside John Spry Community School in the Little Village neighborhood on Jan. 10, 2022. Officials with Pritzker’s office said the “joint initiative,” if passed, would provide paid administrative leave for every employee of a public school district who is “fully vaccinated or has received the required doses to become fully vaccinated within five weeks” of passage of the law. It applies to anyone “who is required, or whose child is required, to be excluded from school because of a positive COVID-19 test result or close contact with a person who had a confirmed case of COVID-19.
