GARY, Ind. (AP) - Officials on Thursday indefinitely canceled classes citywide after teachers, striking for a fourth day, blocked streets and swarmed a car attempting to park at an elementary school. Two picketers were slightly hurt as the car rolled through the crowd.
"This behavior compromises the district's goal to ensure that all students will attend safe, orderly and secure schools with climates conducive to learning," said Mary Steele, superintendent of the Gary Community School Corp.
A substitute teacher arriving for work at Dr. Bernard C. Watson Academy for Boys slightly injured two strikers with her car as she drove through the parking lot entrance blocked by protesting teachers, district spokeswoman Sarita Stevens said.
