Murray, KY – McCracken County Teachers may have a difficult time addressing future worries to their school district. The McCracken County School Board says it will no longer recognize the teacher's union. The Paducah Sun reports the school board made its announcement in a letter addressed to the former president of the McCracken County Education Association. District Superintendent Nancy Waldrop says she doesn't believe it is in the best interest of taxpayers for the district to continue negotiations with the union. Before the decision, McCracken County was one of the last school districts to have recognized collective bargaining rights.
