Disorders Force NYC School Shutdown After Clashes
State Education Commissioner James E. Allen ordered schools closed in Ocean Hill due to clashes between rock-throwing students and police. Associate Commissioner Herbert F. Johnson was temporarily relieved and William D. Firman named to replace him. The Ocean Hill governing board faced protests from Rev. C Herbert Oliver and supporters at JHS 271. Albert Shanker said the closure eased the threat of a citywide teachers' strike amid ongoing labor actions since September.
