Chicago Teachers Union votes for classes to go virtual
CNN
The Chicago Teachers Union voted to teach virtually rather than in the classroom, likely triggering a cancellation of classes Wednesday which the school district leadership warned would happen if the union vote passed.
Chicago Public Schools, the third-largest school district in the country, resumed in-person learning Monday in conditions union leaders described as unsafe as the Omicron virus variant sent Covid-19 cases soaring around the country.
The union held an emergency meeting Tuesday evening to hold the vote by its delegates (elected union leaders for individual schools) on virtual teaching and then poll its 25,000 members electronically.
