The Boston Teachers Union held walk-ins at over a dozen schools in the city as contract negotiations drag on between the union and school district.
Before-school rallies were held at walk-ins at 15 schools in the city, putting pressure on the contract negotiations that have gone on for months, the union said in a news release.
The Boston Teachers Unions is primarily seeking better pay for teachers and paraprofessionals, as well as staffing changes to better accommodate special education students as well as students who are learning English.
“We’re seeking mainly an opportunity for our students with disabilities and multi-lingual learners, an opportunity to have services that they need in order to thrive in the classroom delivered by an additional teacher,” BTU president Erik Berg said.
