75K kids — less than a third of eligible students — plan to return for in-person learning, CPS says – Chicago Sun-Times*

“Our union will have to have an internal discussion about what to do next if we can’t reach agreements on how to make our schools safe for everyone,” CTU President Jesse Sharkey told the school board Wednesday. “When we have those discussions, all options are going to be on the table." Sharkey said the lack of a clear public health metric and mechanisms to enforce health and safety protocols “is going to make our union campaign in a way which is going to have very real consequences in this whole city.”

Less than 1/3 of students returning sounds fine with me if over 2/3 of the entire school budget is similarly cut.

The parents in the best school districts in the state were having protests demanding the reopening of schools. Parents take education seriously.

Yet less than 1/3rd of CPS parents care enough to send their kids back to school. Let’s be honest, the parents of CPS students get the education they deserve.
