Story out of Detroit, Michigan:
Ninety-four out of 97 Detroit Public Schools are closed Monday because instructors called in sick, school district spokeswoman Michelle A. Zdrodowski said. The so-called sickout came after teachers found out they would not be paid for two months of work.
Over the weekend, teachers learned they would not get salaries for May and June, according to Ivy Bailey, the interim president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers. Instructors were going to rally at 10 a.m. ET at the district's central administration building.
"There's a basic agreement in America: When you put in a day's work, you'll receive a day's pay. DPS (Detroit Public Schools) is breaking that deal," Bailey said. "Teachers want to be in the classroom giving children a chance to learn and reach their potential. Unfortunately, by refusing to guarantee that we will be paid for our work, DPS is effectively locking our members out of the classrooms." Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
