My guess is that the teachers will pass this. The alternative that has been discussed, is a straight pay cut. The school budget and teachers are already stretched. I would suspect some teachers are going to use their time to find work.
I just want to add that it doesnt help morale for teachers as everyone is already struggling in this bad economy. Personally, I have a part-time job, and plan on working more to make up for the 7.94% furlough cut.
I dont teach AP Physics anymore, but if I did, I probably would have afterschool sessions on the days we have school.
