Madison school leaders are praising the local teachers’ union latest protest over returning to in-person classes.
Dozens of teachers at several Madison public schools taught their classes outside on Thursday, to show their displeasure at being asked to teach in-person starting Monday.
Madison Metropolitan Schools said in a statement that Thursday’s ‘teach-out’ is a "thoughtful approach … to make staff voices heard in a way that does not disrupt the continuity of education for our students."
