FAIRPLAY, Colo. (AP) - Talks are planned between striking teachers and school officials in a rural district in central Colorado.
The South Park Education Association says the superintendent of the Park County School District RE-2, Joe Torrez, and a school board member are expected to meet with the union’s bargaining team members around midday Wednesday.
Teachers went on strike Monday over wages and other issues.
District officials have offered a $2,000 raise. Teachers want a $6,000 across the board pay raise to help keep current teachers and attract new ones.
It is the third teacher strike in Colorado in the last 18 months.
