IRVINE

An Irvine teachers union committee this week put off a motion to bring a no-confidence vote on Supt. Patricia Clark White and the school board majority to its 1,200 members.

Instead, the 70-member policy-making body, called the Representative Council--which includes delegates from each school, each district program and the union’s executive board--asked the executive board to come up with a list of concerns and bring it to teachers for discussion.

Gail Rothman, the union’s president, said many teachers had concerns about a new labor contract they reluctantly accepted last month after months of tension between Irvine Unified’s administration and the union.
