SEATTLE (AP) — Students in Seattle on Monday will miss a fourth day of school as teachers strike over pay and classroom support.

 

The school district Sunday afternoon announced the cancellation of Monday classes and said negotiations with the union were ongoing.

 

“We are optimistic an agreement will be reached soon so that students can begin school,” Seattle Public Schools said.

 

The strike began Wednesday, what was supposed to be the first day of school for the approximately 49,000 students in the district.
