Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is committed to ensuring all students have access to high-quality instruction in a learning environment that prioritizes the health, safety, and social and emotional needs of our students and staff. To balance these objectives, CPS considered several scenarios for the 2020–21 school year. While each scenario has its own challenges and benefits, the district developed a preliminary reopening framework that aligns with the commitments and core values outlined in our five-year vision, Success Starts Here, and the guidance of the city’s public health officials.
The voices of our students, families, and staff will be critical to informing how we resume school should the public health environment allow. All parents, students, staff, and community members are encouraged to provide feedback to the preliminary framework via the survey below. Your feedback will be critical in finalizing our plans for reopening. Please complete this survey after you have reviewed the preliminary reopening framework.
