TEACHERS’ STRIKE ENDS! Print

JOINT PRESS RELEASE
MARCH 13, 2013 at 2:05 a.m.


The Dixon Public Schools Board of Education and Dixon Education Association are pleased to announce that at 1:40 a.m., Wednesday morning, the parties reached agreement on a four-year contract.  Both students and teachers will return to school on Wednesday, March 13th and begin ISAT testing by the end of this week.  

The specific details of the contract will be made available after the teachers ratify and the Board approves the tentative agreement.  The DEA plans to ratify the agreement on Monday, March 18th and the Board of Education will approve the agreement at its March 20th meeting.

The Board and DEA affirmed that with this strike now being resolved, it is time for the parties to put any disagreements behind them and move forward in a positive direction for the benefit of the students, parents and community.

“With the assistance of the federal mediator, both parties worked hard to find creative solutions to resolve the outstanding issues,” said Sandi Sodergren-Baar, President of the DEA.  “We are confident that the settlement is the best one for our schools and will keep the District moving forward,” said Tom Balser, Board President.

Tuesday, March 12 2013 16:10

We are pleased to announce that Dixon Public Schools and the Dixon Education Association, the union that represents the District’s 166 teachers, will return to the bargaining table at 6:00 p.m. this evening.

It is the Board’s top priority to get students and teachers back in the classroom as soon as possible and we are cautiously optimistic about the potential of achieving resolution at tonight’s session as the parties have already reached agreement on most noneconomic issues.

Dixon Public Schools families will be advised of the status of tonight’s session via automated telephone call no later than 9:00 p.m.  Up-to-date information about the status of negotiations will be available on the District website at www.dixonschools.org.
 


Dixon Public Schools, in cooperation with the community, will provide students with a comprehensive educational program that produces well-educated, self-sufficient, and involved citizens.
