The AP (5/17) reports that the Central Falls, Rhode Island, school district, which "gained the support of President Barack Obama for promoting accountability after it fired all its teachers from a struggling school, announced Sunday it reached an agreement with the" teachers union "to return all the current staffers to their jobs." According to both sides, a "transformation plan for Central Falls High School for the coming school year would allow the 87 teachers, guidance counselors, librarians and other staffers who were to lose their jobs at the end of this year to return without having to reapply."
CNN (5/17) reports on its Website that "the agreement, which must still be ratified by teachers, includes measures to improve student achievement, including a longer school day, targeted professional development for teachers and more after-school tutoring," according to a statement by the teachers union.
