Teachers of Proviso High School District 209 returned to the picket line Tuesday.
– one that includes increased pay and smaller class sizes.
With no agreement on the table yet, teachers made their voices heard during Tuesday night’s regular board meeting. "It’s a shame that we have so many teachers who put in 10, 15 years over here and in today’s economy, they can’t afford to be here, so they move a block that way for $20,000 more," said Satyam Contractor, Proviso West special education teacher.
"I want the district to know we have absolutely quality teachers here, and we need to keep them here," said Contractor.
