JEA and school board meet today
Negotiators from the Janesville Education Association and the Janesville School Board meet Monday afternoon in another attempt to reconcile their differences.
JEA President Dave Parr says if the meeting goes well the two sides will meet weekly to reach a contract agreement. A state mediator had been scheduling sessions to settle the dispute, but the school board and teachers' union agreed to meet one more time without the mediator. Parr says the JEA is offering significant health care changes that could save the school district up to $1 million over the course of the teachers' contract.
He says those changes are good for the teachers and good for the district.
