Old Forge talks still stalled
OLD FORGE - The Old Forge teachers union has not yet decided whether teachers will be in their classrooms on Jan. 2.
After a work stoppage caused students to miss two days of school at the end of last week, negotiations have not progressed, said John Holland, chief negotiator for the union. There is disagreement whether the teachers were locked out or on strike.
The Old Forge School Board made its "last, best offer" to the union on Friday, but the same offer was already rejected last month, and the union will not be considering it again, Mr. Holland said.
