CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago school leaders canceled classes in the nation’s third-largest school district for the second straight day after failing to reach an agreement with the teachers union over COVID-19 safety protocols.

Classes were again canceled for Thursday, affecting roughly 350,000 students.
