Despite a safety agreement with the Chicago Teachers Union that requires universal masking in schools until the end of the academic year, CPS officials on Wednesday said there may come a time sooner in which masks will not be mandatory.
Martinez’s comments came one day after Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Chicago would bealong with the rest of the state next Monday. But that decision does not affect CPS schools, which will still require students and staff to mask up, for now.
“Absent a new variant, there will be a point in time — in the near future, I think — when we will be able to go mask optional,” Board of Education President Miguel del Valle said. “And so let’s all work to get to that point.”
