Cps School,Ctu Contract,Chicago Teachers Union

The issue chosen for the first public session will not be about salary or benefits. The topic is what CTU calls its Green Schools Initiative.

Sarah SchulteThe CTU contract runs out later in June, but the issue chosen for the first public negotiation session with CPS is not salary or benefits. Marquette Elementary School on the Southwest Side is the site of what is believed to be a first for Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union : a public collective bargaining session.

"This is a great opportunity, frankly, for us to collaborate with the Chicago Teachers Union and really help our public understand some of these very complex issues," said CPS CEO Pedro Martinez. "They're focusing on what they consider reasonable requests to focus on converting about 50 schools to solar, for example, doing a pilot of carbon-neutral schools for five schools," said Better Government Association President David Greising.
