Bridgeport Teachers Protest City Council Short Term Note Move
The Bridgeport Teachers Association protests the Common Council action on July 6 that refused to authorize short term notes to fund state aid to teachers. They claim the council acted unusually and unfairly by dismissing the petition with scant consideration and contend the issue was a loan, not a gift, backed by state security as provided by law. The dispute centers on whether the council could authorize a loan outside contract payouts, with the matter referred to the Board of Education and City Attorney before page six.
