On April 17, CTU and CPS reached a historic agreement to declare May 1 a Civic Day of Action.
We have signed a joint agreement that includes CPS providing buses for field trips of students and educators to attend the 1 p.m. rally in Union Park, pledging no retaliation against students or staff who participate in May Day, participating in lobbying for full funding in Springfield, and committing future May Days that fall in the work week as a teacher-directed professional development day so that we all have clarity for the years to come.
Below are tools to help you and your co-workers make this a historic day for our students and communities. Make sure to fill out this form to let CTU know what you are planning for the day.
