Chicago Teachers Union members will call on Mayor Lori Lightfoot Wednesday to extend parental leave improvements to CPS staff.

CPS responded, saying, "Chicago Public Schools remains committed to exploring an updated parental leave policy and that work is ongoing. As such, CPS is taking the necessary time to review our policies and engage the union leadership to bargain over how to best support our team members who are new parents."
The CTU said they also plan to hold a news conference after they deliver the signatures Wednesday morning.
