The State : San Jose School Strike Is Likely
A strike loomed for the 29,000-student San Jose school district as contract talks between district officials and teachers’ representatives broke down. Supt. James Baughman said the district had rejected the latest demand from teachers for a 10% raise this year and a retroactive raise of 6% for last year. The district is offering 6% this year with a 1% salary bonus. Teachers are expected to strike when school opens Tuesday, but district officials said they will try to keep classes operating.
