McGuffey teachers are picketing this morning at McGuffey High School and Middle School, Joe Walker Elementary, Claysville Elementary and union headquarters, the Buffalo Township Municipal Building.

The union and school board have been negotiating for more than a year to reach a contract. The union voted last week to strike if an agreement could not be reached. Both sides met with a mediator for more than five hours Friday night, but could not reach a deal.

The strike will last two days; Classes will resume Wednesday.
