The Chicago Teachers Union has said they want CPS to delay the return to in-person learning.
Chicago Public Schools classes resumed in-person on Monday after the winter break, but there is some concern about the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.READ MORE:Some parents are also concerned that tens of thousands of PCR tests turned in last week will not account for any New Year’s Eve parties.
The union also blasted CPS for not being better prepared to handle the flood of test kits that were sent to the district last week, after distributing 150,000 tests to students and staff at 300 schools before the winter break. “What will it take to shut down a school building when COVID is running rampant?” said Brianna Hambright-Paul, a school counselor at Park Manor Elementary, where CTU officials said 70% of students were in quarantine just ahead of winter break. The union said all teachers and paraprofessionals at Park Manor Elementary were working remotely on Monday due to the outbreak.
CPS students will be marked absent if they don’t attend class in-person, unless they tested positive for COVID, or were told to quarantine by the Chicago Department of Public Health.
