Educators in Beverly, Gloucester, and Marblehead are on strike as they demand increased wages and paid parental leave.

Classes will be canceled again on Wednesday for nearly 10,000 students as the teachers’ strike continues across three North Shore communities. Educators across Beverly, Gloucester and Marblehead are refusing to return to the job until a new contract is reached with their local school committees.

Three North Shore school districts were forced to cancel classes Tuesday when they could not reach a deal with striking educators, officials in the communities said.
