BOSTON – More than 1,000 teachers, parents and school staff rallied outside of the Boston Public Schools headquarters and into a School Committee meeting on Wednesday to demand a new contract.

The Boston Teachers Union is pushing for a new contract that would boost funding for inclusion, social and emotional wellness and homelessness supports. The rally was being held outside Bruce Bolling Municipal Building in Roxbury.

“If funding is cut they won’t receive the supports they need and they don’t have as many supports as they need now,” said teacher Natalya Betzig.
