GFT was back in court today for the teachers that were illegally furloughed in SY03-04. Judge Barrett-Anderson stated she would sign an order compelling DOE to pay the 880 teachers that were employed in ’03 but not during SY98. Unfortunately, DOE is still trying to collect back wages for teachers who were forced to work two weeks during their vacation period in 1998. Judge Barrett-Anderson has given DOE until January 17th to prepare their arguments.
