After 15 months of wage negotiations, Denver teachers will resort to going on strike Monday in an effort to spark a new deal, according to CNN.
It is estimated that about 2,100 teachers will participate in the first Denver strike in 25 years, which will leave about 92,000 students over 160 public schools without their teachers indefinitely. Additionally, over 4,000 preschool students will not have school due to the lack of licensed staff, the Denver Post reports.
The Denver teachers have been calling for an increase in base salaries as income from year to year is uncertain due to unpredictable bonuses.
The Denver Classroom Teachers Association (DCTA) and the Denver Public Schools (DPS) attempted to remedy the tense situation over the weekend, but talks fell apart as the strike loomed.
