“Throughout our discussions, I felt both the Association and the District, built on the foundation of the last contract, made thoughtful recommendations and worked towards compromise. With this contract complete, the work of the District will continue to move forward as all of our attention can now be focused on the reason we are all in education – the children," she said.
Kurtz, PAEA president, stated, “We are grateful to the board, administration and the PAEA negotiations team for their willingness to participate in early bird negotiations and reach a tentative agreement in just three short weeks. The hard work and cooperation among everyone involved allows us all to keep our focus centered on educating the students of Phoenixville during this especially challenging time.”
The PAEA is scheduling a vote on the contract for its membership on Monday, Nov. 30.
The PASD School Board will vote on the contract during its regular school board meeting, to be held virtually and beginning at 7:00 p.m. on November 30. For more information on how to access the school board meeting online, please visit the PASD website at www.pasd.com.
