At a news conference yesterday morning, Gary Yee placed the teacher contract imposition in the context of the district’s painful takeover history, Tony Smith said he wanted to start over and OEA executive director Ward Rountree said that was a terrible way to do it. (You can find a story about the whole situation
here.)
We posted reader polls on the
strike and the
contract imposition, if you care to vote. Oh, and the Tribune ran an
editorial saying raises for teachers would be “nice,” but that the district can’t afford them.
