School district takes teachers union to court for wave of absences that forced school closures
Fox News
A Nevada school district and teachers union are expected in court regarding a recent string of teacher callouts during a bitter contract battle.
Since the beginning of the month, unexpected staff shortages have forced seven schools to cancel classes for the day and two others to combine classes, according to CCSD, which includes Las Vegas. The district’s motion seeking an emergency court order said one of those schools had 87% of its teachers call out sick on the same day.
Clark County Education Association, which represents about 18,000 licensed educators, has insisted to FOX5 Vegas it has no connection to the string of recent sickouts.
