St. Paul Hospitality Industry Rallies Around Striking Teachers

The St. Paul Public Schools’ teachers strike continues today. Contract negotiations between the two sides were unable to come to a resolution, while an estimated 37,000 students are home from school. Teachers are seeking, among other things health, mental health, and foreign language support.
