On Mon- day, January 6, thousands of OPS teach- ers began what proved to be a four week walkout. The teachers had been working without a contract since July 1, 1985. Due to the fact that the district was unpre- pared for a strike, even though the teach- ers had threatened to strike three times, education was brought to a stand still. Ev- eryday, while teacher and union represen- tatives made no progress, more and more students stayed away from school. At one point, over 50,000 of the 54,000 OPS stu- dents were absent from class. The stu- dents hurt most by the strike were high school seniors. Usually, near the end of the first semester, seniors begin to get ap- plications, letters of recommendation, and transcripts sent to the colleges of their choice. Because of the strike, how- ever, teachers and counselors were not on campus and were unable to seriously help the graduates. Once the strike finally ended the next two weeks were used in order to complete the semester. Along with the transcripts, a letter was sent to a college explaining the situation. Massive confusion was still present even when school began. 'F F ' '-SW 1 I - lful' 9 Adults Q55 were not the only people supporting the strike.
