A reopening standoff between teachers and the school district has cast Chicago students and families into a period of uncertainty. We want to know: What decisions are you weighing right now? And what does your student need in this moment? 

Chalkbeat Chicago wants to hear from families and students. Our short survey will be used to gain insight into what families are experiencing and what questions they may have. We plan to use the results of the survey to inform our coverage. If you are uncomfortable with your name being used, please let us know at the bottom of the survey.
