March 1, 2010
For the past two months, contract negotiations teams for the Perkiomen Valley Education Association (PVEA) and the Perkiomen Valley School District have been meeting to work out a contract settlement. On the evening of February 23, 2010, negotiations over the PVEA’s initial proposal broke down.
The PVEA’s proposal was made in light of the difficult economic times we are all facing and with recognition of our responsibility and commitment to the district and the community. We offered a one-year deal in order to assure a stable foundation upon which to begin the next school year and provide ample time to continue work toward a more durable contract in the future.
While we are disappointed that we could not reach agreement on our proposal, the PVEA remains committed to the work ahead and we look forward to the next negotiation session.
