Tiffany, we now know when both again. We do, lynna. According to cleveland. Com. Its the 24th, here we are. The negotiations wont start until the 29th. If you remember, cleveland teachers gave the deadline of september 21st at 6 00 p. M. Thats when you say they will strike. That only gives both sides three days to negotiate. When you really think about it, though, these sides say that they do plan to get something done. The question is when. According to cleveland.

Public school too muchers last year made 17 less in weekly wages and other workers with similar education levels and years of experience. Thats compared with just 4 back in 1996. But it is showing teachers have better benefits. Teachers is how theyre evaluated. Theyre evaluated based on the student test scores. Cleveland teachers are basically saying thats unfair to them. So, again, theyre going to have three days to negotiate before that possible strike. That strike deadline, of course, lynna, thats something we can follow. Thank you so much, tiffany.
