Reopening Framework

The health and wellness of the CPS community remains our highest priority, and we will make every effort to provide teachers and students with pre-existing health conditions the ability to safely participate in school activities.

Students’ academic progress must be protected despite changes to the learning environment.

As part of our commitment to equity, every student must be able to participate in learning, whether at home or in school.  CPS will identify and respond to inequities in education opportunities among our student population.

The physical, social, and emotional needs of our students and educators are a district priority. This past year has presented our students and teachers with unprecedented challenges; we will focus on reducing anxiety related to COVID-19 and building a supportive community.

The COVID-19 public health emergency, recent social injustice and civil unrest have highlighted historical inequities experienced by our students and communities of color. CPS’ mission is centered on achieving educational and health equity; we will continue to engage and collaborate with students, parents, staff, and community partners to become more responsive to our community’s evolving needs.

Guidelines for the current school year are transparent, accessible, and easily understood by all members of our community.
