St. Paul teachers rally ahead of looming strike

Teachers rally
Hundreds of St. Paul teachers rallied outside St. Paul Public School headquarters on Tuesday, Feb. 18. The teachers and district have been locked in contract negotiations since May. The St. Paul Federation of Teachers wants a cap on class sizes and an increase in staff hiring written into their next contract. District officials say they agree with those issues, but contend the union's demands are too expensive.

Hundreds of St. Paul teachers, parents and students rallied outside the St. Paul school district headquarters Tuesday before a school board meeting.

Teachers say the two-year contract being negotiated needs to include lower class sizes, more staff and less assessment testing. Another negotiating session will be held Thursday and there will be a teacher vote next Monday on whether to authorize a strike.
