| Evan Lerner, Patrick Breslin and Lynne Hurley at May 3rd Board Meeting |
At the May 3rd post-election reorganization meeting of the Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education, newly installed Board President Evan Lerner alerted the audience that on Tuesday, May 17th, at the next meeting, the Negotiations Committee will update the full Board in closed executive session on the status of negotiations with the Bridgewater-Raritan Education Association.
In a telephone conversation this evening, Mr. Lerner disclosed that although the Negotiations Team had not met with representatives of the BREA since the School Board’s reorganization on May 3rd, that it had, nonetheless, "received a proposal" from the teachers’ union.
Mr. Lerner was unable to disclose the contents of that proposal, but indicated that in its executive session next Tuesday, the full Board will hear the specifics in closed session, will discuss it, and “will be crafting a response for the Negotiations Committee” to bring back to the BREA.
The Board may also consider the question of “whether or not to disclose the BREA’s offer” to the public, but there was no indication of what the sense of the Board might be on this issue.
