New Holland-Middletown teachers ratify a three year contract

 

[May 30, 2017]  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 the school board approved the settlement at their board meeting on May 24, 2017.

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.
