Boston-area teachers strike in Newton, Massachusetts, ended with a tentative contract agreement after 11 days, involving 2,000 teachers and about 12,000 students. The contract includes a 13% cost-of-living increase over four years for teachers, pay hikes for classroom aides, and 40 days of fully paid family leave time. The strike, the sixth in the state since 2022, had significant financial and legal implications, with both sides bearing substantial costs. Additionally, a teacher filed a lawsuit seeking to end the strike, citing its impact on students' education.
