Some things to pay attention to in the new Chicago Public School enrollment data: About 25 high schools dealing with critically low enrollment, as in the past, but also a growing number of elementary schools.. wbez.org/shows/wbez-new…
Working together @ChiPubSchools & @CTULocal1 can...manage to f*ck up Thanksgiving travel for thousands of families.

@heavyseas @CTULocal1 @ChicagosMayor @Suntimes Strike is over. Let's move on because this sounds like it's about to get personal and that's between you and the mayor.
How Chicago teachers plan to talk to their students about #ctustrike chalkbeat.org/posts/chicago/…
The strike is over! Mayor Lori Lightfoot just announced the Chicago teachers strike has ended. The city has agreed to make up five missed days of schools. wbez.org/shows/wbez-new…
Our students will be back in school. These are words I’ve been waiting and wanting to say for weeks now. This is what matters most.

!!!! I was tweeting from our house account today but here's our story. Of course, we're on the schools beat everyday so put your followup Qs about the contract here and we will keep you updated. But I might take night off TBH chalkbeat.org/posts/chicago/…
The Chicago teachers strike looks to be over after a tentative agreement was reached. But Chicago Teachers Union President Jesse Sharkey said there is work to be done to sell the deal to members: “(I'm) not going to say it’s going to be a slam-dunk.” trib.al/BUb5qym
CPS students are heading back to school Friday. Here’s what they’re thinking as they gear up for class after the teachers strike chicago.suntimes.com/2019/10/31/209…
@CTULocal1 After last night, you'll never convince me that the needs of Chicago's kids were ever your top priority but at least they finally get to go back to school.
"I refuse" to talk about this in terms of winning and losing, Lightfoot says in response to question about what she won in the deal. Asked why the strike had to go on so long, Mayor responded "ask CTU."

Finally. Good news.
Parents who have supported Chicago teachers during the strike now feel betrayed, @HeidiStevens13 writes. Please don’t kill this deal over making up every strike day — it doesn't feel deal-killing important, she argues. trib.al/nSmlsX2
The Field Museum will be free for CPS students during the rest of the teachers strike. buff.ly/2BZMrKr
Parents, students, teachers: How are you feeling today? chalkbeat.org/posts/chicago/…
We’ve criticized @CTULocal1 @ChicagosMayor =ly from start, but #strike now on CTU alone. ONLY reason CTU striking is 2get teachers $/days back. Not about students, just about ensuring teachers don’t have 2pay for mess theyve made. Parents r livid. Let our kids return to learning.
@chalkbeatCHI Compromise! If it’s all about the kids, then show kids how to compromise instead of trying to have it all your way. Families need to get on with their lives. Making up all the days will punish families who have to plan around a school year’s set calendar!!!!
