Chicago Teachers Union

Based on the county's appraisal, the CTU would owe approximately $1 million in property taxes. This development comes as the CTU is demanding $1 billion in additional state funding.

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is rallying against Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and their proposed budget for the upcoming year. 

Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez is offering a preview of next year’s budget, highlighting a major shift in how school dollars will be allocated.

This year's state budget allocates $400 million more than last year's, with $187 million earmarked to help Chicago and Cook County with sheltering and caring for migrants.

Mayor Brandon Johnson says he will not close high-performing CPS Selective Enrollment Schools, at least not until a fully elected Chicago Public School Board takes over the system in 2027.

Hundreds of Chicago teachers ditched their classrooms and headed to Springfield on Wednesday.

One year ago today, Johnson took the baton from former Mayor Lori Lightfoot – promising the most progressive agenda in Chicago history.

Hundreds of Chicago Public Schools teachers plan to skip school to head to Springfield next Wednesday to lobby lawmakers and the governor for more money for Chicago schools.

The Chicago Teachers Union is facing mounting criticism over its latest demands.

Five years after going on strike alongside the Chicago Teachers Union, the union representing school support staff this time has agreed to a new contract with Chicago Public Schools without walking out.

Formal contract negotiations began Monday between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools.
