Hendon managed to get most of her things on Monday, but others will probably be busy Friday. A priority list for teachers to be placed through the Department of Education was circulated la.st year, a list only two among a dozen teachers put their names on, Hen don said. City Councilor Jeny McDer mott said he believes many of the teachers refused to be on the list in defiance. Indeed, many of them have actively participated in Oak Square rallies and protests against the archdiocese. "One of the untold stories is what's going to happen to these teachers," McDermott said. "We owe them a debt of gratitude for everything they have done." He is "cautiously optimistic" that things will work out. "Our de sire is to see the teachers come back," he said.
