Newton schools remain closed for the tenth consecutive day as negotiations persist between the city and striking teachers, with discussions focusing on pay raises for paraprofessionals. The school committee has offered a 52% raise over the next contract for Unit C workers, but no deal was reached on Wednesday. The union has been fined $525,000, and students express frustration over the prolonged strike. A meeting will be held to discuss making up the missed days, which must be done by June 30.
