A downstate judge Friday issued a temporary restraining order that blocks Chicago Public Schools from taking employment action against six teachers who have refused to comply with the district’s vaccination or testing policies.
The district began mandating vaccines for teachers and district employees in August and added a testing option for unvaccinated staff in October. Two of the teachers weren’t in compliance with the testing policies and were “warned by CPS that they may be placed on unpaid administrative leave if they do not comply with the policy,” according to court documents.
