SOUTH BEND -- "Raise your hand if you're a teacher in this area," state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz told the audience in the Jordan Hall of Science at the University of Notre Dame Saturday morning.
A couple dozen hands went up.
"Yeah, see!" Ritz said encouragingly to the teachers, a microcosm of the group that helped her defeat former state schools Superintendent Tony Bennett last fall.
"Giving up a Saturday ...," she said to her supporters, smiling.
