Undecideds To Decide On Overriding Job Veto
Senate Republicans hold the key as six undecided votes may push to override President Ford's veto of a 3.95 billion public works jobs bill. Griffin, a Ford ally, says he will vote to override, citing Michigan 9.7 percent and Detroit 13.4 percent unemployment. The measure would fund 200,000 public works jobs and 90,000 local government jobs, with 2 billion in grants and 1.25 billion in anti recession aid.

Disciplinary Role Set For McKee By La Crosse District
Myron McKee and the La Crosse Area Public School District reach a five part stipulation on his role in student discipline. The agreement allows conditional continuation of employment with conduct limits and student discipline rules under Policy 5105 as read in a February 27 1976 letter. The panel may review issues if they arise and a Thursday hearing may be canceled if the board adopts the stipulation. The Feb 27 reprimand stemmed from how discipline was handled at Longfellow and forbids touching students while the corporal punishment policy dates to February 1975 and bars corporal punishment but allows self defense.
