Springfield poll shows 73 percent oppose teachers pact
In Springfield School District, 73 percent of 420 respondents oppose the four year teachers contract slated for approval tonight. The poll funded by GOP leader Charles Sexton found 60 percent say board members approving the pact should be removed, and 69 percent rate the board's performance as poor. The contract would raise teachers salaries about 8.9 percent annually starting 1990. Sexton calls the poll overwhelming and plans to present it at the 8 pm Springfield High School meeting at 111 West Leamy Ave.
