Negotiations update Both sides to meet March 4

The HSTA agreed to the DOE’s request to cancel our bargaining session that was scheduled for Monday, Jan. 28, because of sudden scheduling difficulties with the legislative session and education hearings. The employer and the union will exchange survey data (HSTA from teachers and the state from principals) about 21 hours and professional development. Both sides have agreed to exchange overall proposals no later than Feb. 19, allowing each side time to review and prepare for the next face-to-face session on Monday, March 4.
