Dear District 146 Community,

This email is to correct a false report circulating online about the negotiations in our District. Individuals have posted that the District and the union haven’t used the mediator since June and suggested that the Board has not really made any offers to the union this week. That report is false.

Here are the true facts:
  • Fact: The parties have met with and communicated with the mediator multiple times since June, including multiple times this past week.
  • Fact: In August, the School Board President reached out to the union president through the Superintendent to meet one on one to discuss the state of the negotiations and attempt to find common ground on the remaining open items. This offer to meet was declined by the union president.
  • Fact: The Board made two alternate offers to the union on Tuesday morning via the mediator. (The implication that, because the mediator was on vacation, he was not working with the parties or could not have conveyed any offers is false. He was accessible and was in contact with the parties while he was away.)
  • Fact: I contacted the union president Tuesday morning in order to ensure the Board’s offer via the mediator was received.
  • Fact: The union responded with an offer Thursday evening via the mediator.
  • Fact: The Board made another offer to the union on Friday morning via the mediator.
  • Fact: The Board looks forward to receiving the union’s next offer.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jeff Stawick
Superintendent
