Newburgh Teachers at Impasse After Long Negotiation Marathon
Newburgh teachers and school board negotiators spent 11 straight hours Friday without reaching a contract for the 1969-70 year. The impasse is tied to pay, with teachers seeking a starting wage of 7200 while the district offers 6500. A state factfinder attended, and board members joined the session for the first time. The dispute echoes last year’s tense talks and threatened strike if no agreement by next September.
