Vagnozzi told the Michigan
Citizen she sent a questionnaire
to stewards to give to teachers,
asking questions about whether
any student expelled for bring

readmitted into the classroom.
100 of the 400 she received told
of these problems.
A similar description of the
survey method was included in
the union newspaper article
about the findings.
Vagnozzi stated that the
names of the teacher's were kept
secret, because they were afraid
of getting into trouble with the
administration. Helen Moore, a
parent, who is an activist and
often a critic of both the school
