BREAKING NEWS: CTU Walkout Would Mean No Classes Wednesday If the Chicago Teachers Union votes today to switch to online learning, the action would be considered a strike by the head of Chicago Public Schools and result in classes being canceled on Wednesday.

The results of tonight's citywide electronic ballot are in. Starting tomorrow, all CTU members at CPS schools should be working remotely. The result of tonight's vote was 73 percent in favor of the remote-work-only job action.

Tomorrow, all members will log in remotely to work, and as this pandemic continues, we will do everything in our power to ensure that our classrooms are the safest and healthiest places for children to learn, thrive and grow.

We understand the frustration that is felt by tonight’s decision, and assure. families that we will continue to work diligently, as we have for the past 21 months, to encourage the mayor and her CPS team to at last commit to enforceable COVID-19 protections centered on safety.

Resources for families today: - Meals are available at all schools from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. - These Safe Haven sites are available for childcare: bit.ly/SafeHavenCPS - Chicago Park District fieldhouses will be open during normal operating hours: chicagoparkdistrict.com

UPDATE ON CLASSES FOR 1/6: There will be no in-person or remote instruction for CPS students Thursday, January 6. All after-school programs and other events are also canceled. For information on resources and Friday, January 7, please review the attached letter. (1/2)

UPDATE: Classes are currently canceled for all CPS students on Monday, January 10, but we remain committed to reaching an agreement with the Chicago Teachers Union as soon as possible. Please review this letter for more information on our district’s plans.
