No Progress Reported In Bessemer Negotiations
A mediation session between the Bessemer Education Association and the Board of Education failed to break a stalemate on salaries and contract items. BEA’s Joseph Mattella said a mediator was brought in as football practice was set to begin under last year’s pay, while the board waited for full board approval. If no agreement is reached by Monday, the Speed Boys football opener at Calumet on Friday, Aug. 30 could be canceled.

Senior Citizens Act as Guides in Bargaining Talks
The association repeats it offered the sole option to start the football season on time using last year’s salary schedule with retroactive pay boosts. The teachers’ group says the board failed to counter with a fresh offer, insisting both sides must submit proposals to settle. The union criticizes the board for not presenting a counter and notes the coaches’ salary issue hinges on a salary schedule, which was not drawn up, forcing an urgent proposal based on prior terms.
