Teachers (l-r) Kevin Bamsey, Hilary Weddell, Nicole Rushton and Julie Boyes picket in front of Raft River Elementary School on Friday of last week as part of rotating province-wide strikes.

B.C. is investing $1,000 less per student than the national average, they say.

As of press-time it was unclear if a settlement between the teachers and the government could be reached.
