Parents face off over the safety of returning to in-classroom learning at CPS.
Most Chicago Public School students have been back in the classroom for eleven days now — but some families say their kids aren't safe from COVID-19 in school buildings —and they're demanding more access to remote learning. Meanwhile, other parents say in-person learning is necessary to make up for the year of learning lost to the pandemic.
