MCKEESPORT, Pa. (AP) — Teachers in a small western Pennsylvania school district went on strike Tuesday, making their union local the second to walk off the job as the new school year begins, while contract talks continue in scores of other districts.

Negotiations between the East Allegheny School Board and the union representing its 133 teachers collapsed Friday night. The district has 1,700 students.
