Glen Rock Teachers Agree to Settle Contract Dispute

Glen Rock's teacher union has approved a settlement that will in all likelihood end a dispute that's delayed the signing of a new contract for almost a year, according to the Glen Rock Gazette.

The paper reported that the Glen Rock Education Association members on Monday agreed to in the 2014-2015 school year. The dispute has held up the ratification of the contract, initially agreed to in September of 2012. 

Both parties have been in mediation since early this year, with each lobbing claims of unfair labor practices. Terms of the settlement were struck on June 10 with a state-appointed mediator.

The final vote is expected by the school board on Monday, June 24. When approved, teachers and support staff will see a total salary increase of 2.36 per year.
