AP: Gary, Ind., teachers go on strike
Few students showed up for the first day of school Wednesday as hundreds of striking teachers walked picket lines carrying signs that read “No Contract, No Work.”
Negotiators for the Gary Community Schools Corp. and teachers union resumed talks Wednesday night after ending a session late the night before.
School officials had said they expected substitute teachers and administrators to carry out a full day of classes, but it was far short of that in the 16,000-student district.
