Teachers in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. – and the Bay Area – are on strike for a second day.
The Las Lomitas Education Association, which includes schools in Atherton and Menlo Park, is asking the Las Lomitas Elementary School District to increase pay to a "livable wage" and provide fully funded health benefits. The district includes La Entrada School in Menlo Park and Las Lomitas Elementary in Atherton .Bargaining ended at 8 p.m. on Wednesday with no agreement between the association and the district.
Las Lomitas educators say they have the lowest pay compared to neighboring school districts in the Bay Area.In a statement on Wednesday, the school district told KTVU, "The board and district leadership deeply value the significant collective impact of our teachers and staff on our students, schools and community. For the sake of our students and the entire community, we hope to come to an agreement soon so that we may move forward together.
