Seventh-grader Mikayla Baiocchi, 12, buckles down to business on her first day at Archie R. Cole Middle School, in East Greenwich, while Principal Michael Zajac consults with resource teacher JoAnne Leach.

School is in session across the state today as the East Greenwich teachers report for work after a three-day strike.

A Superior Court Judge declared the strike illegal and ordered the teachers back to work yesterday after a three-hour hearing.

The district and the teachers have not been able to agree on terms of a contract with major negotiation sticking points being salary and health care contributions.

Wednesday night, teachers met with representatives of the school district until about 1 a.m., but were not able to make significant progress.

Mediation sessions are scheduled for next Friday and one day next weekend.
