Teachers on Strike in Beverly & Gloucester

Teachers in the towns of Beverly and Gloucester went on strike, closing schools. Teachers are asking for better pay, benefits, and smaller, more manageable class sizes, among other demands. While it is illegal for teachers to go on strike in Massachusetts, both the Beverly Teachers Association and the Gloucester Teachers Association are committed to striking until a contract is reached. 


*The Gloucester Mayor’s Office as well as the Beverly Mayor’s Office did not respond to our request to join the conversation*
