"Teacher Strike Keeps Northern Massachusetts District's Schools Closed for Fourth Day"
Andover Public Schools in Massachusetts remain closed as hundreds of teachers enter the fourth day of a strike after failing to reach a contract agreement with the Andover School Committee. The committee rejected a union proposal for an 18% raise over four years, citing the need for a townwide election to increase tax revenue. The union expressed disappointment in the committee's lack of effort to reopen schools and address fair wages for teachers.
