Final Problems Of Cfhe Seventies The events in 1978 were similar to happenings in past years of the seventies. Early in the 78-79 year, teachers were planning a strike that resembled the strike that almost took place in September 1976. Two partial reasons for the 1978 near strike were tax relief measures 6 and 1 1. The teachers were opposed to Measure 6. which would have cut the school budget if it had passed. In the election held on November 7, 1978, however, both measures were voted down. Because of a statewide measle epidemic, students had to have proof of vaccination or receive a shot by November 27, 1978 in order to continue attending school. 5
