“Boston teachers held “walk-ins” outside five schools across the district Thursday morning as they continue rallying support amid ongoing contract negotiations.
The Boston Teachers Union is fighting for better pay for teachers and paraprofessionals. They’re also asking for what they’re calling “inclusion done right” — they say the district needs to properly staff the inclusion model used in classrooms for students with special needs and English Language Learners.
The union, whose contract expired on Aug. 31 right before the start of the new school year, has been in negotiations with Boston Public Schools since February. Right now, 8,000 educators are without a contract in the district.”
