Statement from Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot and CPS CEO Dr. Janice K. Jackson on Today’s CPS/CTU Negotiating Session
Mayor's Press Office 312.744.3334
“Today, the City and CPS’ negotiating team responded at the bargaining table to the Chicago Teachers Union’s framework for staffing and class size that they put forward on Saturday. We expressed a willingness to find solutions on these two core issues that would be written directly into the contract. Unfortunately, no measurable progress was made on any other issue today. We remain committed to getting a deal done, as our teachers, students and families deserve no less.”
