Teachers are preparing to strike in Chicago after talks between the Chicago Teachers Union and the school district didn’t go as planned.
Union leaders say teachers need to have access to a Coronavirus vaccine before safely returning to work.
However, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told reporters yesterday that she wants to prioritize teachers, but it would be unfair to prioritize all teachers over other essential workers. This didn’t sit well with the Chicago Teachers Union, so now they are preparing to go on strike.
Meanwhile Chicago Public Schools have suspended in person learning, leaving many families in a state of suspension. As there’s no word on when students will return to school.
Troy A. LaRaviere, President of the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association and Dr. Steve Perry, Founder of Capital Preparatory Schools joined Roland on #RMU to discuss reopening schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact the ongoing school closures have had on Black and Latino students across the country.
