Durham Public Schools teachers and staffers
on Friday after what some said was an “emotional rollercoaster,” of a week, coming on the heels
about an ongoing pay dispute that prompted school closures on Wednesday.
After hours of discussion, the school board tabled the pay issue until next week. The board is expected to revisit the issue Thursday.
“It has been extremely stressful,” Greg Stivland said.
Stivland is one of the hundreds of classified employees affected

The workers said if a permanent solution isn’t reached, walkouts and other issues will continue in the Durham school system.
“The options that they put out are not really benefitting staff either way,” Stivland said.
