Fourth Day of the Hayward Teachers' Strike

Teachers continue to strike after Spring Break starting early in the morning.
"We started off at 6:30 at the County Office of Education," said Special Education teacher Martha Wojno. "There were about 60 to 75 teachers, the media and the helicopters were there.We split off into groups to go to different Board Members' homes."
Wojno went to the house of Grant Peterson, the President of the School Board.
According to Wojno, they rang the doorbell numerous times but he did not answer.
"It's been stated that he's hard of hearing, maybe he didn't hear us," said Wojno. "If he saw the 6 o'clock news, he would have had the opportunity to get away."
The District continue to disregard the teachers' request for a raise.
"It seems like the district isn't feeling the urgency to settle," said U.S. History teacher Peter Olson. "The Alameda County Superintendent is stepping in to hopefully put some pressure on the negotiations."
As the strike continues, both sides, the teachers and the district, are losing money. For every day the teachers are on strike, they lose $300 on average. The district is losing money because there are not many students attending Hayward schools.
"Different people have different financial situations," said Olson. "The Union is helping us get loans with no interest."
According to English teacher Christina Elliott, she does not like being on strike because she misses interacting with students.
