Cotati-Rohnert Park USD Teachers Strike For 3rd Day
Leaders of the union, the Rohnert Park-Cotati Educators Association, said picketing would be held again at every school in the district.
ROHNERT PARK, COTATI, CA — Teachers were scheduled to strike for a third day Monday in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District.
Leaders of the union, the Rohnert Park-Cotati Educators Association, said picketing would be held again at every school in the district. They said 90 percent of the families in the district kept their children home from school the first two days of the strike Thursday and Friday.
Union officials called on district representatives to meet with them and a state mediator to reach an agreement on the recommendations of a state-appointed fact-finding report that called for a three-year, 14.6 percent pay increase for teachers.
