Negotiations between Chicago Teachers Union and city officials stretch into another week as school is canceled for the fourth day

Negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and city officials stretched into another week Monday as students will miss their fourth consecutive school day amid a disagreement over how schools should handle the city’s Covid-19 surge.

The union wants a period of remote learning, while the city wants kids in classrooms.
 
As of Friday, Chicago was averaging more than 5,200 new cases a day, a 16% increase over the prior week, according to the city health department’s Covid tracker. The city’s Covid-19 test positivity rate had a daily average of 21.1%.
