It was reported in the Express-Times that the Nazareth School District released a statement, but would comment no further on the matter related to the Teachers' Contract negotiations (read the article here).
In the article it is stated the negotiations will continue through September 21, the contract expires August 31, and school begins on Monday, August 28.
In the future it would be nice if the District would post press announcements on their web site so residents could read them first hand.
What do you think? Will a resolution come between now and the 21st, when the two sides haven't come to agreement for months leading up to this? What is the hang-up? While neither side will say, one has to assume it is salary, though some districts are now pushing for teachers to contribute to their medical benefits - this could also be an issue - though it is pure speculation on my part.
