Cracks revealed between Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Teachers Union at June board meeting

With a month remaining before Chicago Public Schools finalizes its budget for the next school year, Chicago Teachers Union members gathered ahead of a Board of Education meeting Thursday to decry end-of-school-year layoffs among approximately 300 CPS staffers in teaching assistant and restorative justice coordinator roles.

CPS and the union have presented a united front in recent months, joining together to lobby for state funds and to make their collective bargaining negotiations accessible to the public.
