Chicago Teachers Union calls on mayor to ‘get serious’ about an agreement to reopen schools with students due back in a week – Chicago Tribune*

“We’ve made some progress. We have. We think we’re close to an agreement on safety committees, which are the committees in each individual school that allow people to enforce building conditions to keep us safe in our schools,” CTU President Jesse Sharkey said. “But there are a number of broader issues that have to be addressed by the mayor. Local schools cannot address a citywide metric, for example."
