ssue.  When we began there were only 25 districts with equity and now there are nearly 90.  And many of 
the districts without equity have made huge strides in their salary scales.  I like to think that this progress is a direct 
result of our courage in initiating the lawsuit.  There is still a long way to go and the quest for equity will not end 
with this.  MSNO plans to continue to explore other avenues to achieve the pay equity goal.</BLOCKQUOTE>
