"West Virginia teachers and students returned to the classroom today after the educators ended the longest strike in state history and achieved their goal of getting a 5 percent pay hike.
Schools throughout the state reopened their doors and many teachers waited in front of campuses to welcome back 222,000 students, who had been out of classes throughout the nine school days the strike lasted.
Teachers at Chamberlain Elementary School in the Charleston suburb of Kanawha City stood in front of their school and greeted arriving students while holding signs, reading, "We missed you" and "Nice to be together again."
Schools across West Virginia got back to the business of reading, writing and arithmetic after the state's 35,000 public school employees walked off the job on Feb. 22, fed up with going without a raise for four years."
