Strike Day 20
GAPS: Both sides signing remaining bargaining articles
Final strike settlement may be near and schools could reopen as early as Tuesday,
according to the school district's bargaining team.
The Greater Albany Public Schools bargaining team issued this mediation update at 6:09 p.m. Sunday:
"The District and GAEA bargaining teams have worked intently over the Thanksgiving break and are in the process of signing all open articles as this message is being sent! Unfortunately, there are still several details to finalize and as a result, schools will be closed for students on Monday, December
"The District will continue to work collaboratively with the GAEA on a final strike settlement agreement to end the strike and return staff to work as soon as possible. Once the strike settlement agreement has been met, the GAEA will need to assemble its members to ratify the contract through a vote before it can be presented to the Board for final ratification and implementation.
"Once an agreement has been ratified students will return on a 2-hour late start the following day. The start date will be announced as soon as it is set but we hope to have students and staff in schools on Tuesday, December 3.
"We understand this situation continues to be challenging for everyone involved. We will remain committed to keeping you informed and will provide updates as soon as we have more information to share.
