School board delays teachers' representative election to October
Long Beach officials discuss fiscal prudence and salaries as the school board considers an exclusive teachers' representative election possibly in October. The district aims to grant a three year salary increase while fighting an unfair labor practices suit, with Federation of Teachers leaders arguing the 5 percent rise is a cost of living adjustment and a memo of agreement is not critical.

Norwalk La Mirada teachers press for talks and relief
About 500 teachers from the Norwalk La Mirada School District urged the board to return to bargaining for the 1977 78 contract. They pressed for a raise reflecting roughly a 4 percent cost of living increase, binding arbitration for grievances, and smaller class sizes. The district with 73 000 students has lacked a contract since July 31 and talks broke down. The meeting moved from the district offices to Norwalk High School due to overcrowding and fire code limits.
