District Administration - October 2006 - (Page 14)
Snapshots TRENDS AND INSIGHTS FROM ACROSS THE NATION Striking in Detroit
Detroit public school teachers march in front of Spain Elementary School
in Detroit. In mid-September, teachers voted to end their more than
two-week strike. The dis- trict initially sought a 5.5 percent pay cut
over two years to help balance the district's $1.36 billion budget. The
union sought a raise after years without one. In the end, they agreed on a
one-year pay freeze, fol- lowed by increases of 1 percent the second and
2.5 percent the third. Veteran teachers also will start paying 10 percent
of their health insurance costs, something that only those hired since
1992 did formerly. Bullying This month, Rockstar Games, the maker of the
video game series Grand Theft Auto, launched Bully, a game with themes of
school fighting. The game's 15-year-old main character must defend himself
against school bullies at a fictional boarding school, while dealing with
characters ranging from nerds and jocks to authoritarian prefects. In
March, Florida's Miami-Dade County School Board called on retailers not to
sell the game to minors and required the school district to warn par- ents
about the potentially harmful effects of playing violent video games.
NOLA: First Day Back U.S. Navy Musician 1st Class Jonathan Martin plays
Reveille as students walk into Fischer Elementary School for the first day
of school in New Orleans. During the first week of August, education
officials opened eight public schools, giving more than 4,000 students an
early start on the school year and advancing a reform movement that
blossomed after Hurricane Katrina devas- tated the city almost a year ago.
