At issue, as always, are pay and teacher reluctance to be reviewed.

Seattle’s 53,000 public school students will be idled for a fifth day on Tuesday by a citywide teachers’ strike after a marathon round of weekend contract talks between the union and school district failed to produce a settlement.
Negotiations were set to resume on Monday afternoon, before striking teachers who had been walking picket lines at city high schools marched to district headquarters for a rally that coincided with the announcement of no classes on Tuesday.
“I understand a lot of people are getting frustrated, and this seems to keep going,” Stacy Howard, spokeswoman for Seattle Public Schools, told a news conference.
