Tecumseh negotiations

By Megan Gildow | Monday, August 4, 2008, 03:08 PM

The Tecumseh Education Association has released a statement that teachers will not be attending open houses or parents meetings this year.

According to a release from the TEA, Tecumseh teachers have been working without a contract for eight months and negotiations have reached an impasse.

Attending open houses and parent meetings in the past was a volunteer activity teachers did on their free time, according to the announcement. Because the teachers do not have a contract they will not be attending those events.

See the full statement after the jump and look for an update later.

Submitted by Kerry Cassell:

The Tecumseh Education Association would like to inform all parents, families, and Tecumseh Local community members that teachers will not be attending the open houses/parent meetings this year. In the past we have volunteered our free time to attend these events. Unfortunately, we are currently working without a contract. We have been in the process of contract negotiations for the last eight months and the negotiations are now at an impasse. Thanks for your understanding and support - we are looking forward to an amazing school year!
