Supply Money Reimbursement Survey

In our CTU 2019 contract settlement, we won additional assurances in Contract Article 7-6 Supply Money that CPS would err on the side of accepting all reasonable requests for reimbursement toward the $250 spending max. And as a result of the COVID-19 school closure this spring, educators have had to make additional unexpected purchases in order to engage students in remote learning.

CTU leadership and staff subsequently have proposed repeatedly in bargaining contexts that CPS increase the maximum spending cap on a one time basis to accommodate unexpected additional supply needs and to increase the flexibility of what kind of reimbursements are acceptable. Thus far, CPS has rejected both an increase in the available supply money funds and seemingly has been rejecting reasonable requests for reimbursement. We are preparing to file a grievance and need information from you about your experience with supply money reimbursements.
