Covina teachers set to go on strike Thursday if last-minute deal not reached
Covina-Valley Unified School District teachers are set to go on strike Thursday if a last-minute deal can't be reached before then.With signs and cowbells in hand, educators gathered for a rally Wednesday morning in front of Covina-Valley Unified School District headquarters.
"Up until this point, the district has not been negotiating in good faith," said Amanda Mellars, an 8th grade science teacher at Sierra Vista Middle School. "We've tried to negotiate 15, 14 times and up until this point, they haven't been budging on their position." "The district has talked a lot about salary. But the only problem with salary is that they are only offering salary if we take a hit to our healthcare benefits and if we accept an increased workload for our special education teachers, without a plan that's as thorough as we're looking for," said Mark Signaigo, organizing chair for the union.
