Contract talks to continue for Montgomery teachers
Montgomery County teachers remain without a contract as talks continue to avert a fall bargaining gap before the three year agreement expired at midnight Wednesday. Executive director Tom Israel warns without a deal union rights and payroll deductions could be at risk while both sides push for a settlement by late August. School spokesman Brian Porter says talks persist and notes the board has approved mediators’ terms including a $250 mid year lump sum and a 2 percent raise for top scale staff, to be paid regardless of a contract.
