Strongsville Teachers Cross Picket Line

Two teachers at Strongsville High School reportedly crossed the picket line Monday morning and returned to work.

The action comes at the Strongsville teachers strike enters its sixth week.

Superintendent John Krupinski and Assistant Superintendent Cameron Ryba were unavailable to verify the reports.

But a number of sources, including students in the school, say math teacher Vicki White and Spanish teacher Maria Schleich are back in the classroom.

Before this, four teachers had returned to work -- two at the high school, one at Albion Middle School and one at Kinsner Elementary.

Negotiations between the Strongsville Education Association and Strongsville City Schools resume at 9 a.m. Monday at a federal mediator's office in Independence.

The two sides met for more than 30 hours over three days last week.

We'll update this story if any teachers at other schools return to their classrooms today.
