Chicago Teachers Union demands include 45 days off, 9 new ways to take off – Illinois Policy

There are only 176 full student attendance days in the 2024-2025 CPS calendar. If CTU gets its way, teachers could be out of the classroom for 26 of those days for vacation time, sick days, personal days and the new medical release day. That’s nearly 15 percent of the time kids are in school.

The taxpayers are the student that never learns.

Try googling to see how much CPS, or any of Illinois other +600 school districts for that matter, spends on substitutes or # of classroom days covered by substitutes……guess what, it’s TOP SECRET for all the astronomical tax $ spent

Based on the test scores of CPS students I was under the impression that they never showed up to work.

The appalling thing about this negotiation point is that the CTU scum claim to be “working” on the other days. When 6 in 10 kids don’t function at grade level it is pretty clear that CTU is a complete and total failure. For the good of Chicago kids fire these failures, bust CTU and school vouchers for all.
