With the school year in full swing and information flowing to and from schools, teachers, and families and in seemingly every direction, we figured we would join in with an update on our negotiations with the Andover Education Association (AEA).
Yesterday afternoon, the negotiating teams for Unit B held their 11th session since bargaining began in January. The parties met for almost two hours.
We heard some concerns that our next Unit B bargaining session, currently scheduled for Monday, September 25, 2023, will prevent individuals from observing Yom Kippur.
We respect our educators and are grateful for their steady work and commitment to provide an excellent education to our students.
As we begin an important new year for our students, families, and school district, the members of the School Committee want to share some information about one of the School Committee’s main responsibilities, collective bargaining.
