Students in Seattle will miss a fifth day of school as teachers strike over pay and classroom support
Seattle Teachers Strike

Because her son is old enough to stay home alone, DiLorenzo hasn’t had to scramble for childcare like parents of younger kids. Both she and her son have at times joined teachers to walk the picket lines.

The union says it is opposing the district’s efforts to eliminate staffing ratios for special education students. Teachers in Minneapolis, Chicago and Sacramento walked out earlier this year before securing new contracts.
