75 Santa Cruz teachers to be terminated for failure to post grades

By Simon Tsang

Santa Cruz Times Staff Writer

 SANTA CRUZ � An emergency session of the Santa Cruz school district
was held Thursday night. Following the actions of 320 teachers to
refuse to post end-of-semester grades, as required by law, an emergency
action to terminate 75 teachers and administrators, with more expected
to be terminated on Friday, has been made.

"Their actions are illegal. They have put the academic success of their
students at risk. Some will not be able to complete college
applications. What these teachers did was illegal, unethical, and will
haunt them forever. We expect they will be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law.

The Greater  Santa Cruz Federation of Slacking Teachers ordered its
members to boycott the grade-reporting. "We expect our members to abide
by our decision."
