Local officials urged striking Columbus teaches and the district to return to the negotiating table.
Crawley said she supported teachers' right to strike as part of a process, but that"we all have the same goal in mind," and the two side must find a pathway forward to getting kids back into the classroom.
Columbus City Schools has an enrollment of more than 45,500 students, according to the Ohio Department of Education. Its average teacher has a salary of $74,621, with 13 years of teaching experience. While Ginther and Crawley appeared to sidestep which side needed to bend, other city officials appeared to side with the teachers."Our teachers deserve a fair contract that supports them and the students," Klein said.
City Council President Pro Tem Elizabeth Brown said in a Tweet that teachers"sure as hell want to be in the classroom," but that they"must have a strong contract that dignifies their work" and supports students.City Council President Shannon Hardin said on Twitter:"Our students deserve to start the school year in the building. Our teachers deserve more pay," and urged both sides to return to the bargaining table.
The city also announced it would create student-support spaces at nine city recreation centers to help students in online schooling that the district is offering, although Ginther cautioned these won't be the same as schools and won't be staffed with teachers.Sullivant Gardens Community Center, 755 Renick St. ColumbusDriving Park Community Center, 1100 Rhoads Ave.
