Marion Center Teacher's Strike

In my journalism 220 class, our professor asked us to read the new Right To Know Law and then type up and letter and send it out. I read the law and then thought about my senior year in high school; the teachers went on strike and pretty much ruined our year. We were forced to come to school on days we normally would have had off, snow days were a thing of the past and we could forget about graduating early like all the classes before us. My class, the class of 2007, was the first class to graduate ever in history of Marion Center on June 29.
Our summer was cut short and most of us started college toward the end of August. I remember all of us being really angry with the teachers for ruining our last year at Marion Center High School, but once I came to IUP it was long forgotten, until I was asked to type up a letter about the new Right To Know Law.
I wrote my letter to my high school asking them for the notes that were taken during all of the school board meetings where the teachers tried to get a new contract and higher wages. I asked if they could mail me the minutes and also the salaries of the teachers before and after the strike. On November 4, I received a letter from the new superintendent of the high school and he told me that the notes taken during the school board meetings and the salaries of the teachers before and after the strike were "...confidential, in other words, the public does not have the right to be presented that information."
Although they were not willing to give me the information I requested, the superintendent did say that if I was willing to pay $8.75 they could mail me information on a new collective bargaining agreement between Marion Center Area Board of School Directors and the Marion Center Area Education Association. This was out of the question since I am not willing to spend $10 for something I don't want information on.
