Chicago Public Schools will begin the school year remotely on Tuesday.

Chicago Public Schools on Tuesday released a “final reopening framework” that gives specifics on how much time each grade will spend daily learning remotely as the coronavirus pandemic continues.

Setting standards, training teachers on virtual methods and equipping lower income CPS families with technology and internet access are all major challenges over the coming weeks.

Chicago Public Schools students will begin the new school year next month at home with full-time remote learning, according to a report.

Chicago Public School families are supposed to decide by Friday if they will send their kids to class next month. But teachers say it is not safe.

Most Chicago children would return to the classroom two days a week and spend the other three days learning remotely once the school year begins under a tentative plan outlined Friday by officials from the nation’s third-largest school district.

Chicago Public Schools should start the fall semester with virtual classes rather than calling students back to buildings left empty since March, the union representing thousands of teachers in the nation’s third-largest school district said Thursday.

The Chicago Teachers Union is calling on all schools to open remotely this fall, resuming classes only online as coronavirus cases continue to surge across the country and in Chicago.

Chicago teachers say not so fast when it comes to restarting school this fall.

The artist behind a “Scooby-Doo”-themed cartoon that was derided by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot as "racist" shared his side of the story.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted the Chicago Teachers Union Thursday over a "clearly racist" tweet that depicted her wearing a police uniform while tied up to a chair and being unmasked by white Scobby-Doo cartoon characters.

The Chicago Teachers Union on Wednesday announced it is suing U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and the city’s public school district, saying its policies interfere with the education of students with special needs during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Chicago Teachers Union spent almost $1.5 million on political activity including lobbying, in the months leading up to a two-week strike in the fall, according to a published report.

Just 582 employees crossed the Chicago teachers strike picket lines in October, a new report has found.
