On the first day of classes at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, a PE teacher greeted Evan Myers' seventh period construction management class. It was unusual, but the sophomore took it in stride. Then the class, which teaches construction skills like using tools, began skipping all of the hands-on activities they had planned. Several weeks into the semester, a substitute took over and his class turned into a study hall. 'I was expecting to be doing something by now,' Myers said. What Myers experienced was a consequence of conflicts between the Morgan Hill Unified School District and the local teachers union.
