The ruling by the National Labor Relations Board, says the group — about 40 teachers and staff that serve about 285 students at three schools — can hold an election and vote on whether to unionize even though the Board of Directors stalled their efforts earlier this year. The election is set for May 19, which is graduation day at City High School.
