Burrillville teachers tender new contract proposal

BURRILLVILLE -- The town’s teachers have tendered a new proposal in their contract negotiations with the School Committee.

The union’s latest offering is based, in part, on a recent review of the school system’s spending plan for the current fiscal year, Patrick Crowley, a representative of the Burrillville Education Association, said today.

“It’s something that we envision as a way to break the stalemate,” he said.

Crowley declined to discuss the specifics of the proposal in any further detail, but he said union leaders had high hopes for it after they made the offer during a mediation session yesterday.

The union expects a counter-proposal from the school district when both sides meet again at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
