The walkout has interrupted classes for about 10,000 students, reports WYOU Channel 22 News.
The teachers say they have been without a contract or pay raise since 2017, reports WNEP-TV Channel 16 News.
Proposals from the two sides remain millions of dollars apart, The Scranton Times-Tribune reports. The district is demanding that the union agree to a different health care plan to help pay for raises. The union refuses to give up retroactive pay; some teachers are owed more than $80,000.
The district's financial recovery plan requires that any raises come from savings within the contract.
During the strike, employees and their families are without district medical coverage because the district canceled the insurance coverage of employees who walked out. District lawyers said the cancellation was legal; teachers union officials characterized it as "mean."
