Striking East St. Louis teachers, from left, Jeff Schneider, Josh Cummins and Paul Thies, continue to walk the picket line in front of East St. Louis Senior High School Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2015 in East St. Louis, Ill.

Some students and their families aren’t waiting for a resolution, instead opting to move or transfer to other districts. (Steve Nagy/Belleville News-Democrat, via AP)
