The Blue Ridge Education Association (BREA) informed the school district this afternoon (Friday, Feb. 19) that they will be on strike starting March 29, if an agreement can’t be reached on a new contract. The teachers have been working without a new contract for two-years.<\/p>\n

“We have always tried to find common ground with the District with respect to reaching a new contract. Unfortunately, the school board continues to go backwards with their contract proposals. In fact, their proposals are very regressive and counterproductive,” said Jim Maria- PSEA Representative.<\/p>\n

Maria said, “We hope it does not come to a crisis, but we are at a tipping-point in contract negotiations. All of our contract proposals have been fair and reasonable, so we hope we can find middle ground prior to March 29. We hope they will meet with us sooner rather than later to move forward with productive contract negotiations. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
