Medford Schools Announce Strike Plans

Medford School District

The Medford School District released its plan for school schedules if teachers strike Thursday morning.

The teachers' union set February 6th as its deadline several weeks ago: either a breakthrough in contract negotiations, or a strike.

The district drew up contingency plans and hired substitute teachers, with the intention of opening strike-bound schools on February 12th. 

Both middle schools and Jacksonville, Jefferson, Oak Grove, Roosevelt and Wilson schools would be closed, their classes and students transferred to other buildings.

The open schools would host one school in the morning, another in the afternoon.   Here is the entire list:
