However, from a practical standpoint, this is unlikely to happen due to the sheer number of substitute staff that would be required. During a strike, there are no requirements that alternatives be provided to parents for childcare or educational activities.

The total salary includes teachers who take on additional responsibilities such as teaching summer school or coaching a sport.
These salary totals reflect the previous way in which the state funded teacher salaries. District budget reserves are unspent money districts set aside in the event of an unexpected cost to the district or a revenue shortfall. MSOC is state funding provided for materials, supplies, and operating costs. In most cases, the funding categories in the funding formula are for allocation purposes only. This means that dollars allocated for materials, supplies, and operating costs MSOC could be spent on teacher salaries if the school district decides to do so.
The funding formula the state uses to distribute money to the districts is for allocation purposes only. For most funding categories, the district determines locally how to spend the money from the state, though there are some restricted categories of funding.
This means that dollars allocated for things like materials, supplies, and operating costs MSOC or for support staff like counselors and librarians can be used for teacher salaries if the district decides to do so. The state sets minimum instructional hours and days that must be provided to students in a year.

There was an attempt to clean it up by the local people, but it was mostly left unnoticed. This sort of thing, and much worse, is happening all the time and we are doing almost nothing to stop it. It was, however, often discussed around the kitchen table at home so it has always been in the back of my mind. Only now are people waking up and seeing the impacts all over the world, although some people remain in denial. However, this is not enough.
Realising it is happening is one thing, taking action is the next step and it needs to happen — fast. The words of Greta Thunberg were a wake-up call for a lot of people in denial or unaware of the issue.
After listening to her Tedx speech from Stockholm I was amazed. I thought it was inspiring and brave for someone my own age to stand up and speak to that many people about something she felt so strongly about.
