Philadelphia teachers’ union
leaders agreed to as many as 600
layoffs in a tentative contract set
tlement that may allow school to
start on schedule for the first
time in three years. Yet a third
group of Pittsburgh-area
teachers voted to strike Monday,
affecting 43,730 students.
Talks in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., were deadlocked, and
angry union officials vowed to
try and remove the Broward
County School District superin
tendent.
Sixty-one teachers in the
Southeastern Greene district
near Pittsburgh voted over
whelmingly late Sunday to reject
an offer by the school board and
hold out for more money and
other benefits by striking Mon
day. Some 1,130 students at four
schools were told to stay home.
Contract talks were tentatively
scheduled for today.
* In nearby Bursettstown,
negotiators for the district and
104 teachers, who struck Friday,
were scheduled to meet tonight
in hopes of ending the walkout,
which kept 2,100 students out of
classrooms Monday.
The Allegheny Intermediate
Unit Education Association, also
on strike in the Pittsburgh area
since Tuesday, held talks Sun
day in an effort to end the strike
that kept at least 12,000 hand-
icapped students at home
Monday.
Negotiators, who met until af
ter midnight, reported agree
ment on seven of 20 disputed
issues but were unable to end the
walkout.
The impasse in the nation’s
ninth largest school system, in
Fort Lauderdale, was caused di
rectly by Superintendent Wil
liam McFatter, Classroom
Teachers Association President
Art Kennedy said Sunday.
Kennedy said the teachers
will ask the school board to fire
McFatter at a meeting Thurs
day. He predicted the teachers
had a good chance of success.
McFatter could not be
reached for comment.
The county’s 124,000 public
school pupils missed the first
day of school Aug. 23 because of
the threat of a teacher walkout.
But the union failed to decide on
a strike, which would be illegal
under Florida law, when too few
of its members showed up for a
vote.

Gospel group

United Press International
COLUMBUS, Ga. — A de
cade ago, Little Michael and the
Lord Family Singers drew
standing-room only crowds in
revival tents around the coun
try. But then the 5-year-old faith
healer with golden hair and a
cherubic face grew up and the
Lords became just another
traveling gospel group.
The family hopes to change
that with the Lord Family
Museum and Evangelism Hall
of Fame, which opened Sunday.
Located on Victory Drive, a
strip near Fort Benning that is
cluttered with bars and topless
joints, the Hall of Fame is a new
beginning for the Lords, who
once grossed $90,000 a year on
the evangelical circuit.
They spent the last month
working to fashion the museum
from a dilapidated gas station. It
is built around the memorabilia
the Lords and Little Michael,
now 15, have collected during
the years.
Inside the museum are a
walking cane, a leg brace and a
shoe left behind by people who
were healed by Little Michael’s
prayers, said Little Michael’s
father, Michael Lord Sr.
The museum features por- itioi
traits of Little Michael, Dr. Mar- did
tin Luther King Jr., Kathryn oni<
