On the (Non) Deal: Teachers Union Releases Statement on CBA Progress

Despite a long negotiation on January 25, there is still no deal between Phoenixville Area School District and its teachers union.

After a nearly four hour negotiation on January 25 that involved the exchange of a pair of proposals but ended, like all those that came before it, with no new contract, the Phoenixville Area Education Association released a statement earlier this week explaining their end of things, The Mercury is reporting.

“The PAEA (Phoenixville Area Education Association) was unable to respond with a counter offer at Wednesday’s negotiating session.” the statement read. “Although both sides made movement on several issues, it was insufficient for the PAEA negotiating team to develop a counter offer.”

The meeting ended without the sides agreeing on a future negotiation date.
