District 201-0 Teachers Still Lacking Contract
Crete-Monee School District 201-0 teachers remain without a current contract as federal mediator William Sigler mediates impasse after a September tentative pact that covered financial terms but left nonfinancial items unresolved. Key issue is a reduction in force policy based on seniority and certification, with the CMEA pushing for seniority and certification to guide dismissals while the district favors non-seniority criteria. Negotiations, ongoing since April 15, 1978, include four unresolved articles and plans to prepare for the 1979-1980 year. tensions rise between the teachers led by Dorothy Brady and the district led by John Bevan and Dr. William Meyer.
