A report offering recommendations for a contract between
Mt. View and its teachers was not made available for public view a week after
Mt. View directors rejected the fact finder’s conclusions.
Mt. View directors unanimously voted against accepting
the report at a special board meeting on Monday, Oct. 6. At that time, board
president Thomas Stoddard said the report would be posted on the district’s
website within a few days.
The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board released its
fact-finding report to the public on Thursday, Oct. 9. (See related article, MV
contract recommendations released)
At the board’s regular meeting on Monday night, Oct. 13,
Stoddard again promised another few days of waiting.
“We’re in the process of creating a webpage on our
website,” he explained. “It will include the fact finding report as well as the
district’s position on what the report says. There will also be an analysis of
such things as the benefits and retirement package, and a link to view past
contracts.”
He added that the Mt. View Education Association, which
represents the teachers, also voted down the report’s results, and it is
required that the report be available to the public for a period of time before
further actions are taken.
Stoddard said a ‘hard copy’ of the report will also be
available in the district office, but he did not indicate when.
“We hope the information we put out will clarify for
everyone what’s going on,” he concluded. “Our hope is that all faculty will
look at it so they can make their own judgments.”
