February 15 2024- Newton Public Schools will be closed for the 10th day as the teachers union and School Committee continue negotiations, primarily focused on salary hikes. While progress has been made on issues related to staffing, the structure of the day, and parental leave, a significant gap remains in terms of cost-of-living adjustments for teachers and paraprofessionals. The School Committee and Newton Teachers Association are working to find a resolution to end the ongoing deadlock and resume normal school operations.
