Amid the impasse, 340,000 students in the third-largest US school system haven’t been in school since January 4.

“I’m certainly relieved to go back to the classroom and see my students,” said Kathryn Rose, who is both a Chicago Public Schools teacher and parent. “My kids are really excited to go back, too.”

The mayor’s administration also will work with the teachers union, or CTU, in engaging families to increase testing consents, Lightfoot said. “That’s a critical part of it,” she said. “We want to get to as high a number in testing consents as we possibly can.” More details of the deal were expected to be released after union’s full rank-and-file membership begins voting on it Tuesday afternoon. The agreement is expected to pass, a union official said.The confrontation over in-person classes began January 4 when CTU voted to begin teaching virtually amid rising Covid-19 cases in the school system. In response, the school district canceled classes.

“I’m not going to say this is a home run,” said CTU President Jesse Sharkey. “We’re happy it’s over, but we’re not happy we had to go through it in the first place.”
