Teacher's Union Sues Feds Over Documents
WASHINGTON -- The nation's largest teacher union sued the Education Department on Thursday, accusing the agency of stonewalling over a request for public information. The department said the material would be handed over by Friday.
The National Education Association wants documents detailing the department's interpretation of a section of the new federal education law. At issue is a provision dealing with the protection of school employees' rights.
"While everyone speaks about holding schools, teachers and students accountable, we also believe that the Department should be held responsible for meeting its legal obligations," said Reg Weaver, the union president.
