Thousands of teachers, parents and students marched in the streets of Chicago on Monday, the opening day of the city’s first public school strike in a quarter century. Almost 30,000 teachers and their support staff have walked out over reforms sought by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The Chicago Teachers Union called the strike Sunday night after months of negotiations failed to resolve demands for pay raises, better classroom conditions, job security and evaluations.
