Detroit Teacher Sick-Outs Close Schools Again

(DETROIT) — Nearly all of Detroit's public schools were closed for a second consecutive day Tuesday as hundreds of teachers called out sick over concerns that many may not get paid if the financially struggling district runs out of money.

As of 7:15 a.m., 94 of the district's 97 schools were shut down — the same number that was forced to cancel classes Monday when more than 1,500 teachers did not show up for work.
