Minneapolis Public Schools said on its website Sunday that it had "shared its last, best and final" offer as teachers continue a strike over wages and class sizes.
“We've got to get class size caps in the contract, mental health supports in the contract, we need living wages for our hourly ESPs and we need competitive pay for our license folks,” union leader says.
Union leaders are seeking class-size caps, increased mental health support and "competitive salaries" for teachers, noting that their compensation lags many districts in the Twin Cities metro area.
Tens of thousands walked off the job on Thursday over what they say is the government's failure to adopt a coherent policy for schools to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
