Talks break off in Teaneck as 151 teachers detained
Contract talks halted Friday as 151 striking Teaneck teachers were held in a kindergarten auditorium under police guard during school hours. Judge Sherwin Lester ordered confinement during classes and warned of possible suspensions if the two week strike remains unresolved by Monday. Mediator Lawrence Hammer said the gap centers on pay, with teachers seeking 19 percent over two years and the board offering 16.5 percent. Other district schools stayed open with admins and substitutes.
