i—Teachers Hear Strike Rumor For teachers and students alike the year started off on an uneasy foot. Rumors and publicity often made school opening and continuance during the first few weeks an ambiguous proposition. What was the cause of this unrest? The Jordan Education Association and The Jordan Board of Education had disputed over negotiations and were not in commu- nication. Teachers had earlier signed con- tracts under threats of dismissal, but the J.E.A. did not consider negotiations settled as did the Board. Numerous general membership meet- ings, Board meetings, and strategies were employed during these early weeks of school opening. Teachers picketed the Dis- trict Office and cut back on volunteering their time after school hours in a work-to- rule procedure. Students often told their teachers that they had heard the teachers were prepar- ing to strike—which was often a surprise to the teachers. A strike, although very possible, was avoided, when communica- tion began between the J.E.A. and Board in late September and a redistributing of funds provided a small raise increment, and a mediation process was agreed upon for next year’s negotiations. The feelings generated during these first few weeks were intense and for some col- ored at least part of the year, but teaching and school proceeded as usual and the perhaps hoped for strike that the stu- dents felt would bring an unexpected vaca- tion never materialized—although the an- ticipation and rumors provided a stimulat- ing and yet paradoxically depressing open ing of school. Part of the strategy to bring the J.E.A. teachers and the Board of Education back to the bargaining table was district-wide picketing of the District Office after school hours.
