The fight over the education budget in Worcester County was expected to see teachers at Snow Hill High School begin working to the rule.
They met on a grassy knoll where buses drop off students in the morning and are protesting the lack of a pay raise yet again.
Worcester County officials say that there is no money for the $4 million budget increase request by school Superintendent Jerry Wilson.
The county faces a $22 million short fall and it is trying to partially close that with a six cent tax hike.
But WBOC reports that the Worcester County Teacher’s Association believes that teachers are being unappreciated.
