Schools in Newton will once again be closed Tuesday, as a teachers’ strike rolls into its eighth day.
Tensions over the work stoppage were visible, Monday night. A handful of Newton parents and residents were prevented from entering a news conference update held by the Newton Teachers Association. One man put his body in front of a doorway and complained that NTA members were not letting him in.
“This is ridiculous. The adults need to do their job and get the kids back in school,” said resident Fran Yerardi, whose child graduated from Newton schools last year.
