Public schools across West Virginia
remained empty for a fourth school day Tuesday —but there's relief in
sight for the 20,000 teachers and almost 10,000 support staff.
West
Virginia Gov. Jim Justice says striking teachers will return to the
classroom on Thursday, and he's offering teachers and school service
personnel a 5% pay raise in the first year.
Justice
made the announcement at a news conference Tuesday after emerging from a
meeting with union leaders for teachers in all 55 counties.
“We need our kids back in school. We need our teachers back in school,” Justice said.
