MURPHYSBORO, Ill. (WJPF) — There will be no classes, no sporting events, no extra-curricular activities for students of Murphysboro CUSD #186 Thursday.

Murphysboro teachers voted to strike Wednesday night after rejecting the final offer from the Murphysboro Board of Education.

Both sides met with a Federal Mediator to attempt to come to an agreement on a new contract. An increase in teacher pay being the main sticking point.
