			MIDDLETOWN 
			– The New Holland-Middletown Education Association IEA-NEA and the 
			New Holland-Middletown School Board reached a three year contract 
			agreement. The teacher’s ratified the contract on April 25, 2017 and

			 Diane Bicknell, President of the New 
			Holland-Middletown Education Association, credits the successful 
			bargaining to the positive working relationship among the Board of 
			Education, Superintendent, Todd Dugan, and the Association. “It 
			benefits everyone, when you eliminate an ‘us versus them scenario’."

"The meetings are more productive when negotiations remain 
positive, focused on educational needs and do not go on for several weeks or 
months.” 
The Association is very happy with the contract and would like to 
thank School Board President John Coers and his team for their dedication to the 
students and staff of New Holland-Middletown.
