"Several Illinois charter schools received contract renewals, but for only two to five years. Andrew Broy, president of the Illinois Network of Charter Schools, said high-performing schools should get a 10-year contract because the renewable process is tedious."

New school-level data Chalkbeat obtained shows Chicago Public Schools attendance remained below pre-pandemic rates this fall — slightly lower than the virtual fall of 2020.

One-size-fits-all systems cause fights, plain & simple, regardless of sector.
But Covid is now making even teachers union rank & file understand 1 set of school policies can't begin to accommodate the different needs of workers, students & families, as this union battles itself.
