Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union look close to an agreement on a vaccination plan, according to a document circulated by the CTU tonight. CPS will offer 1,500 vaccines/week to its workers. CTU agrees but wants that number to increase with more supply. But...

CPS wants workers to return to schools after one dose of the vaccine, and the union doesn't entirely agree.

There's *some* progress on other issues, per this document, but not everything

CPS/CTU have a tentative agreement on testing. That's the issue the mayor said was resolved earlier this week.

All staff in the 134 schools in the neighborhoods with the most infections will be tested weekly, and some students will be. 50% of staff in other schools (cont...)

All staff will be tested before returning to work. And all students age 10 and above will be tested once returning to in-person learning

On a health metric, CPS is offering to close schools at a 3% test positivity of its surveillance testing of staff. CTU is asking for a community rate of 5% or <20 cases/100k residents every 14 days

On accommodations for staff with vulnerable household members, CPS is willing to grant requests to 20% of those workers. CTU wants all of them to be allowed to work remotely.

This looks like it's the issue they're farthest apart on. Not clear where this one gets resolved.

So, this is close, but there's still no deal between CPS and CTU
