Committee reports ongoing custodial contract talks; negotiation subcommittee gains an additional member
Summary
Committee members said custodial contract negotiations remain open and the committee agreed to add an experienced member to the negotiations subcommittee to help finalize a deal.
School committee members reported ongoing negotiations with the custodial staff and said they expect another working session next week to try to finalize terms. The committee did not vote to ratify a contract at the meeting; administrators said there is nothing ready for committee signature yet.
Committee members discussed the negotiations subcommittee and agreed to add a second member with prior experience to help close out the custodial talks. One member who previously served on negotiations agreed to step in for the current round. No formal changes to subcommittee membership were voted on at the meeting; the committee said assignments will be revisited when the full committee is present.
The update was presented as a discussion-only item: administrators said teacher contracts are settled but custodial negotiations continue and that the next scheduled meeting of negotiators is expected soon. Committee members emphasized the desire to conclude negotiations before school opening but did not provide details of proposed contract terms or dollar amounts during the public session.
