A seven hour meeting in Haverhill, Mass. on Saturday yielded no agreement between the school subcommittee and the teachers union.
"If you're going to undervalue your teachers, what else are you undervaluing?" asked Tim Briggs, president of the Haverhill Education Association."It's our students.""A strike will be harmful to our community and will do nothing to bring us closer to a resolution," Wood said.

City leaders say school is on for Monday for the time being but they're also preparing to close in case negotiations with their teachers bog down. In a statement, Malden Superintendent Ligia Noriega-Murphy said,"This maneuver by leaders of the Malden Education Association may be intended to send a message to school district leaders, but ultimately it is our students and families who suffer the consequences of these tactics.""The students in Haverhill are not getting what they deserve," said Haverhill music teacher Barry Davis."We are losing great teachers.
