"Newton School Committee Chair Breaks Down as Teacher Strike Enters 10th Day"

The ongoing teachers' strike in Newton, Massachusetts has led to the cancellation of classes for the 10th day, causing emotional distress for the Chair of Newton's School Committee. The strike stems from a $15 million disparity between the demands of the Newton Teachers Association and what the School Committee can provide. Parents and officials are urging for a resolution as fines continue to accumulate for the teachers' union, and discussions about makeup days are underway.
