The Chicago Teachers Union will vote today on a proposal that would bring students back to classrooms.

The plan pushes for more teacher vaccinations and would set guidelines for school closures during COVID-19 spikes. 

The city and teachers union have fought for months on how and when to bring students back safely. 

If approved some students could start returning to in-person learning Thursday, with younger students gradually returning over the next few weeks.
