Norwalk-La Mirada teachers weigh options on strike vote
A large majority of Norwalk-La Mirada teachers voted last Thursday and Friday, weighing a censure of the 3.6 percent raise and a master plan with 30 points against accepting the raise. With 895 votes cast from 66 eligible, option one led, while 218 voted for the raise, signaling possible employer pressure toward a strike if the board ignores teachers’ concerns. Late registration for Long Beach City College satellite extension classes ends Friday, offering courses in law enforcement, arts, languages, and more at several sites with open enrollment.
