As fines for the union mount and parents grow desperate, the Newton Teachers Association pitched a memorandum of understanding Sunday night that they described as an effort to reopen schools for Monday. The School Committee opted not to sign it.
The committee has offered repeatedly to release the NTA's core bargaining team members from work so they can engage in continued mediation while teachers and support staff return to work. The Committee has increased its wage proposals, negotiated parental leave, increased hours for paraprofessionals, and communicated a shared commitment to add social workers.
