CPS Agrees to Mediation With CTU, But Not Over Decision To Reopen Schools – WTTW (Chicago)

In a letter sent Tuesday to the CTU’s legal team, board Labor Relations Officer Kaitlyn Girard wrote: “The (Chicago Board of Education) will not engage in mediation over its decision to reopen schools. As you are well aware, decisions to determine the places of instruction, whether remote or in-person, are permissive subjects of bargaining ... and the CBE has no obligation to bargain its decision.”
