Educators in the Twin Rivers Unified School District are set to strike on Thursday for the first time in the district’s two-decade history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Twin Rivers United Educators (TRUE) is leading the charge and President Brittoni Ward confirmed to CBS Sacramento that, without a deal overnight, the strike would begin Thursday morning and continue until they can reach a deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We love our students, we love our community, we’re doing this for them,” Ward said. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Educators are pushing for higher pay to stay competitive with other area districts, fully covered healthcare for all educators and smaller class sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some parents told CBS Sacramento they would not be sending their children to school as a show of support for the teachers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s not just about the teachers, it’s about the students too,” said Erika Flores, a TRUSD parent. “We need counselors. My child is autistic, he needs more teaching. He needs more help, you know, in different areas.”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement, TRUSD leadership said that schools would remain open during the strike and that all activities, including after-school programs, would continue during the strike.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

To fill the empty classrooms, Twin Rivers Unified\u00a0is offering above-average substitute pay during the strike, which the union says will last as long as they need it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
