Last spring teachers in the Highlands School District went on strike this past April (in the 2015-16 school year) and there was a chance that an unsettled contract situation would have led to another strike to start this school year, but it has been announced that a five year contract has been approved by the school board and the teachers’ union and school will start on time this coming week.  We wrote about the presence of school strikes in Pennsylvania when the Highlands strike occurred.
