Members of the Chicago Teachers Union are set to begin striking tomorrow morning at 6am, following the expiration of their set strike deadline at midnight tonight. Parents showed their solidarity with the teachers today, marching with signs and banners as the union and administration continued talks this afternoon. The district is prepared for the strike and has informed parents that all buildings will remain open tomorrow. Additionally, the Chicago Transit Authority announced that it will provide free transportation anytime between 5:30am-8:30pm for the duration of the strike, if it occurs.
