An Act relative to teacher strikes

This bill (HD 3746) requires Massachusetts public school districts to maintain established school schedules and structured learning time during teacher strikes. It directly affects school districts and teachers by mandating that districts cannot reduce instructional hours or eliminate required learning time under state education regulations (603 CMR 27.03 and 27.04) when public school employees strike. The key provision adds a specific requirement to labor law, ensuring schools continue operating under their standard academic calendar during strikes. This policy change focuses on maintaining educational continuity for students during labor disputes.
