Proviso School District 209 teachers have gone on strike Friday, with classes canceled at Proviso East, West and Mathematics and Science Academy.
Teachers are on strile at all three campuses of Proviso District 209 including Proviso East in Maywood, Proviso West in Hillside and Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy in Forest Park, which means classes are cancelled.
"We are willing to be on strike as long as it takes for them to listen to us," said Rachel Esposito, Local 571 West Suburban Teachers Union president."Right now they have locked out our students. They have locked out other employees. They have nothing to do with the strike and so now what's going to happen with them? they're making a statement too.
Proviso East history teacher Lindsey Townsend said she spends her own money to help her students with supplies and has thoughts of leaving the district.
