The plan would cut into both Thanksgiving and winter breaks. CPS officials proposed adding five make-up school days as part of an agreement for the 11 school days missed. The loss of six school days reduces spending by $68 million, and the district is getting another $66 million in additional TIF money from the city, according to CPS. “We understand that modifications to the school calendar can create real challenges for our families, and we have worked to add makeup days in a manner that prioritizes student learning and minimizes disruption to the fullest extent possible,” CPS Chief Education Officer LaTanya McDade said in a statement. The previously approved budget already included $97 million in TIF money. The union wanted to make up all 11. The union took issue with that claim, tweeting that “before taking winter break days,” the district could have had students in class during previously scheduled teacher professional development days and moved those to the end of the school year. CHICAGO — With the strike now in its 10th school day, Chicago Public Schools will now have to make up the days lost. “It unfortunately cuts back their winter break, but I’m glad it’s not at the end of the school year. “I am absolutely concerned about how those days will impact (the School Quality Rating Policy), which by the way we had a contract demand to do away with. John Overfield, who has a senior at Taft High School and a sixth grader at Wildwood Elementary, said he’d prefer the days all be added to the end of the year, but he wasn’t concerned about the chosen dates. The June makeup dates were both initially scheduled as school improvement days for staff, and those days would move to June 19 and 22. A plan by Chicago Public Schools to shorten school holidays to make up days lost to the teachers strike has been met with criticism by the teachers union and mixed reaction from parents. It actually worked out really well where they put the makeup days.” Along with the updated calendar, CPS also revealed its proposal for an amended budget for this school year, which includes “new investments” and salary increases agreed to in the tentative union contracts plus more tax increment financing money and reduced spending tied to the strike. “I’m happy that it’s not (all) at the tail end of the (school year), when all of the kids are not really doing much,” Chacon said. My child has a college or other post-secondary application deadline during the strike. CPS officials said the money will enable them to pay for $33 million in additional costs of the CTU contract and $15 million in additional costs of the SEIU contract, afford $25 million in reduced short-term borrowing, and take on $61 million in pension costs shifted from the city to CPS. The teachers union is not happy with the calendar proposal. The union had accepted a tentative five-year contract agreement with CPS on Wednesday, but had refused to end the strike until Lightfoot agreed to make up the lost days.

Will make-up days be added to the CPS academic calendar? Families will be notified about any changes to the school year calendar. As part of negotiations to end the 11-day strike, the district and Chicago Teachers Union leadership agreed to make up five of the 11 days.The district chose the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, as well as Jan. 2 and 3 and two days that will be added on at the end of the school year in June. The union wanted to make up all 11. The five suggested dates include: Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2019 The make-up days must be scheduled on days on which teachers would not otherwise be paid, which severely limited the district’s options. At this time, we do not plan to make up days missed due to a strike. “If it were my call, I would just tack on five days to the end of the school year,” Overfield said. Families will also be notified via robocall. “January 2 and 3 doesn’t seem to be the best days for student attendance, considering the obvious,” Davis Gates later told the Tribune. A common complaint on Twitter related to existing travel plans, with some users saying they didn’t plan to change those even if it meant their children would miss school. Attendance is one of the factors that determines a school’s rating and that rating determines the vitality of that school.” As to whether the union has alternate days to propose, she said they’re fielding phone calls and messages from members and talking internally about it. The amended calendar is tentative until it’s approved by the Board of Education, which is scheduled to vote at its next meeting on Nov. 20. The Chicago Teachers Union have set dates for members to vote on accepting or rejecting the tentative agreement reached last week with Chicago Public Schools.CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Public Schools released an amended calendar and budget proposal Tuesday for the 2019-20 school year following the 15-day teachers strike last month.Chicago teachers strike ends; CTU, CPS reach deal, classes resume FridayCTU has 'tentative agreement' with CPS, but no 'return to work' agreement; no school ThursdayCTU delegates meet for update, CPS cancels school WednesdayCPS, CTU negotiations continue, classes canceled TuesdayNew Chicago looting video released as feds investigate hundreds of digital leads 40K still without power 4 days after severe storms, ComEd says USPS workers say agency isn't doing enough to protect them from COVID-19Carol Stream attempted kidnapping suspect may be connected to 2019 Glendale Heights attackBrake problems push Ford to recall 562,000 vehicles Apple, Google drop Fortnite from app stores over paymentsAmerican Academy of Pediatrics releases kids face mask guidanceDowntown business owners reevaluate amid pandemic, unrestCensus cowboys ride to low-response neighborhoods so people can be countedCPD monitors social media as crime-fighting strategy; some urge caution
The new January attendance dates would effectively lop off four days from the recess, since under the current calendar students would have another weekend before returning to school. Parent reactions to the proposed dates were mixed Tuesday afternoon, on social media and among those contacted by the Tribune. The teachers strike lasted for 11 days and ended Thursday after CTU and Mayor Lori Lightfoot reached a compromise to make up five of the 11 days.

Meanwhile, the Friday before last year’s Memorial Day weekend, which CPS officials used as a comparison to the makeup days, 89% of students and 86% of teachers showed up.
