- There may be an attempt to keep schools open for high school seniors, who need 175 days of school to graduate. With snow days adding up, additional no-school days could push back scheduled graduations.

I believe the NTU needs to stop being so stubborn. All the other city unions didn't have a contract for a while. Those unions wanted a raise the first year, just like the teachers, they came up with a compromise that did not include that first year raise. The NTU is one of the last unions to try and negotiate a contract. The alderman and mayor are all for every part of the contract except that first year 2.5% raise, the exact same position they were in with the other city unions. The NTU is trying to get everything they want. None of the other city unions got exactly what they wanted, some of the people in those unions included police and fire employees. NTU thinks they should get a raise when the police and fire employees didn't? What makes the NTU better than them? NTU is ruining our education experience.
The Sound of Music is running as planned today and tomorrow! Make sure to buy your tickets, it's going to be an excellent show!

I just hope the contract thing will be over sooooon.
The city and the union should just agree on something. Fast.
