Public schools in the three communities will be closed on Tuesday as teachers hit the picket line over pay, paid parental leave and other issues.
Teachers in three Massachusetts communities fighting for new contracts pushed forward with their demands Monday while schools were closed for the Veterans Day holiday.
Even with classes and extracurriculars canceled, school officials in Gloucester are still offering breakfast and lunch for students. In Beverly, the district is offering grab-and-go box lunches for students at Beverly High School. “It is critical that we work together to find common ground but unfortunately we have not seen the progress we need," he said.
Julia Brotherton, co-president of the Beverly Teachers Association, faulted the school committee in a written statement for refusing to agree with everything from extended lunch and recess for students to letting educators use their earned sick time to take care of ill and dying family members.
