Teachers at Ella Flagg Young Elementary School, 1434 N. Parkside Ave., took to the picket line Tuesday as the Chicago teacher’s strike entered its second day.
The union failed to reach an agreement on a new contract with the Chicago Board of Education late Sunday, leaving about 350,000 students across the city without schools to attend.
