Chicago's teachers union voted on Tuesday to return to remote learning amid a new surge in coronavirus cases, forcing classes to be canceled on Wednesday, district officials said.
"This decision was made with a heavy heart and a singular focus on student and community safety," the union said in a statement.
Chicago Public Schools officials had insisted on keeping schools open for in-person class, saying remote instruction during the pandemic has been disastrous for children’s learning and mental health. But the union argued that the district’s safety protocols are lacking and both teachers and students are vulnerable.
