Scottsdale School blocks SITA recognition in bargaining shift
Scottsdale administrators denied recognition to the Scottsdale Independent Teacher Association for lacking a valid membership list. The ruling leaves SEA as the sole bargaining agent for teachers, while SFT members plan to skip the committee meeting. In Phoenix, a similar election gave ATF representation after a 859 to 278 vote, prompting calls for Scottsdale to follow suit to prevent unrest.

Privy Council Discusses Bank Holiday as Gold Markets Close
Queen Elizabeth II and ministers feuded over a bank holiday closing gold markets while the stock exchange would stay shut through Saturday. Paris experts cite dollar weakness and the gold exchange standard as France signals its stance. De Gaulle aides reiterate that the 35 dollars per ounce parity is no longer realistic amid Fort Knox gold outflows. European central bankers from six countries convene in Washington as Johnson moves to sign a bill freeing gold reserves to meet demand. World confidence in the dollar erodes due to a large U S balance of payments deficit and delayed U S action.
