Teachers Ready to Strike in Cahokia Heights | St. Louis News

Teachers in Cahokia Heights are poised to strike, after a landslide vote gave their bargaining team the green light — signaling escalating tensions as contract talks stall. Compounding the pressure: a computer glitch erased student enrollments just before school started, leaving kids unaccounted for and scrambling to catch up. Parents are furious, while educators face even tougher conditions — staff exodus over summer, new hires quitting within weeks, and working without a contract under punishing attendance rules that demand doctor’s notes for every absence.
