Teachers go on strike in school district with campuses in Santa Fe ...
Educators in the Little Lake City School District officially went on strike Thursday following months of what union officials called stalled contract negotiations over health care costs, class sizes and student support services.Teachers represented by the Little Lake Education Association began picketing at school campuses beginning early Thursday morning; they held a rally and marched to district offices hours later.Union officials said the dispute centers on proposed midyear health care changes that could increase some employees' monthly costs to as much as $1,400.

Extended-care programs will remain open during the strike. After-school sports activities are expected to be rescheduled.District Superintendent Jonathan Vasquez previously said officials were working to reach an agreement while maintaining financial stability."Our teachers and staff are at the heart of our district, and we remain committed to reaching an agreement that reflects their contributions while ensuring the long-term stability of our schools," Vasquez said."The district strongly disagrees with the characterization that we are not investing in classrooms or student supports. Our budget reflects ongoing investments in instructional programs, special education services, and student interventions. At the same time, we must balance these priorities with our legal obligation to maintain fiscal solvency, including meeting the state- requi...
