The teacher's union in Chicago will continue their strike this week as Monday marks the eighth day some 300,000 students will miss school.
Chicago's mayor said Sunday the city district and a labor union representing school support staff have reached a tentative deal. But the Chicago Teachers Union says that offer isn't enough."Please ask or the mayor if they can tell you if their deal provides class size protections for all students and every school in this district," the union's vice president, Stacy Davis Gates said in a Sunday night news conference.
The teachers union says the two proposals have a difference of $38 million per year -- money that would cover what the union has asked for and is"effectively one half of one percent of their entire budget," Gates said Sunday. That budget would address their class size concerns and help add case managers, librarians and restorative justice coordinators to all schools, she said.
