North Penn teachers ordered to report to work | Philadelphia Inquirer | 09/06/2009


North Penn teachers ordered to report to work Philadelphia Inquirer 09/06/2009:

"Schools in the North Penn School District, Montgomery County's largest, will open as scheduled Tuesday after a county judge yesterday ordered teachers to report to work.

The district sought an injunction Friday night to bar the teachers union from carrying out its threat to not staff classrooms Tuesday - the first day for 12,700 students - because of actions it said the board had taken.

Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas C. Branca said a formal hearing on the dispute would be conducted by Thursday."
