In Chicago, teachers may go on strike at some point after May 16th, which would cause school districts to cancel final exams for students. With the threat of another strike, the Chicago Public School system is only able to guarantee that graduation will take place for seniors in the district. Administration would be able to take the place of teachers for graduation, but would be unable to host other typical graduation activities such as a luncheon. The teachers' union will meet on Wednesday to discuss things including the strike, although both sides remain committed to negotiating a new labor agreement.
