Teachers vote on tentative contract
NORWICH – For more than a year and a half, Norwich teachers have worked under an expired contract while their union and the district have tried to negotiate a new agreement. Now, it looks like an end to the long, painful process may finally be in sight.
On Thursday and Friday of last week, members of the Norwich Educators Organization voted on a tentative agreement, signed by the union and the Norwich City School District on Feb. 23. The agreement was the result of an additional round of negotiations agreed to by both parties as an alternative to going into fact-finding proceedings with a state-appointed facilitator.
“We decided ... to have one more go at it,” explained Superintendent Gerard O’Sullivan.
According to NEO First Vice President Erika Kwasnik, the votes will be counted today beginning at 3 p.m. If the draft contract meets the approval of the union’s members, it will then need the approval of the district’s Board of Education before the final documents can be prepared and signed.
The school board meets again at 6 p.m. tomorrow in the District Board Room.
