St. Paul teachers continue strike, no classes for a 2nd day Some 36,000 public school students have another day off in St. Paul while their teachers walk the picket line in the second day of a labor strikeST. PAUL, Minn. -- Some 36,000 public school students had another day off Wednesday in St. Paul while their teachers walked the picket line in the second day of a labor strike. Teachers and support staff picketed again outside the city's schools, as parents scrambled to make alternative plans for their children. St. Paul Federation of Educators spokeswoman Megan Boldt said Wednesday no new contract talks have been scheduled with the school district. The union wants mental health teams in every school building, but district officials say that would be cost prohibitive. Boldt said 87% of members, or nearly 3,100 people, participated in the first day of picketing Tuesday.
