@MSGunderson @chicagosmayor @CTULocal1 Can’t say about the teachers as I haven’t seen any data to validate that, but chicago families are fleeing the city because of this exact reason.

Would it be ideal if all schools had daily tests & great ventilation? Sure, but that’s not reality. We cannot inflict further harm to an entire generation. This is not 2020: We have vaccines + masks, and Omicron is milder. Schools must be open. @ProfEmilyOster @biannagolodryga

@citygirl622 @CTULocal1 Not thanking CTU. Speak for yourself.

The Chicago Teachers Union is about to vote to walk out rather than return to classrooms amid Omichron surge.
I hope every teacher reads this column.
What our kids have suffered thru long absences from classrooms already has had a devastating impact. https://t.co/VRVMQIDhTY

@CTULocal1 @CTULocal1 Parents are NOT with you. Stop speaking on behalf of parents and misrepresenting them.

THREAD - Answering your Chicago election questions

Q: How do I request a mail in ballot?

A: You can request a mail in ballot online here: https://t.co/rxpZmSCMUj. IL passed vote by mail expansion this year, so many voters will receive an application via mail too.

@WindyCity03 Couldn’t agree more! Everyone needs to be collaborative and creative. From a parent perspective, it’s difficult to see eye to eye with CTU leadership who continue on with their rhetoric instead of finding solutions and coming together with the administration for greater good.

[Chicago Tribune Opinion @chitribopinions]

It's not a perfect plan. People advocating for a full return to school aren’t getting what they want. Neither are parents and the teachers union, who wanted to go full-bore on e-learning. But CPS' overall goal makes sense, the editorial board writes. https://t.co/n7pYK3pum4
