New school-level data Chalkbeat obtained shows Chicago Public Schools attendance remained below pre-pandemic rates this fall — slightly lower than the virtual fall of 2020.

"'The current leadership of the @CTULocal1 sees work stoppages & strikes as the 1st step, & not the last one. They are far more focused on being in front of the camera & advancing their own political careers than delivering for us,' the caucus says in a minute long video."

@ChoiceMediatv @ILSchoolChoice @tracyswartz One-size-fits-all systems cause fights, plain & simple, regardless of sector.
But Covid is now making even teachers union rank & file understand 1 set of school policies can't begin to accommodate the different needs of workers, students & families, as this union battles itself.
