The teachers and students of Claver College Extension in Punta Gorda aren't backing down. The disgruntled teachers, as well as about 65 of the 85 students, along with supportive community members gathered in front of the school building in protest this evening. They assembled at 5:00 and looked on as six new staff members carried on with a 3-student session. That's right, six new teachers showed up and only 3 students went upstairs for classes. The crowd left shortly after 7:00. Teacher Rep. Vanna Noralez says they continue their protest tomorrow evening at 5:00. Noralez says they remain firm in their position that they want to be re-hired and be paid every month. They are not re-considering the new stipend system presented by the board.
