Detroit judge rejects
'S
bid
Monday, giving 213,000 public school
children an extended summer vacation.
There were no reports of progress
towards a settlement in the strike's
fourth day.
Elsewhere in Michigan, more than
8,000 teachers in 19 districts were on
strike yesterday, keeping some 150,000
children out of the classrooms.
THOSE DISTRICTS were: Albion,
Benton Harbor, Bloomington, Chip-
pewa Valley, Ferndale, Flint, Holland,
Jenison, Lansing, Marshall, Melvin-
dale, Montague, Owosso, Oxford,
Saginaw, Waverly,.West Ottawa, White
Pigeon and Wyoming.
Strikes ended yesterday with ten-
tative contract agreements in the God-
frey-Lee and Northville districts and at
Washtenaw Community College.
Teachers in Ionia, however, threatened
to strike today unless a contract
agreement is reached.
Detroit school officials, anxious to
get striking teachers back in the
classrooms, went to court yesterday
morning in an unsuccessful bid for an
early hearing on their motion for an in-
junction.
"We consider this a matter of great
urgency," said school board attorney
George Roumell.
"We have children who are entitled to
an education," Roumell said. "There
are scholarships available but children
have to be in school. We are depriving
them of an education . . . There is
nothing stopping teachers from going
back to the classroom while they are
bargaining."
