Chicago Public Schools and teachers union continue haggling over a new contract. What’s settled and what’s next? – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

While a raise for teachers is one of the several proposals the two groups have yet to agree on, the union said the primary sticking points of this contract are not financial. Advocating for academic freedom, additional prep time and the abolishment of discipline methods that the union states target Black teachers, the union believes the remaining proposals on the table will better the lives of both students and educators.
