Detroit Free Press: In Detroit, schools and union dispute money again

Schools and the Detroit Federation of Teachers that was touted by both sides last month as the Detroit teachers strike was settled apparently has fallen apart — over money, again.
This time, the two sides disagree over state funding for Last Chance, a DPS program for students in danger of dropping out that is run by for-profit companies. The district has asked the teachers union for a waiver for the program’s teachers, which so far this year the DFT has not granted.
