In Northville, Michigan, there’s a snag in the school district as a new school year approaches. The issue? Teachers are still without a contract.
The school district is scheduled to welcome students back on September 3rd, but they haven’t yet reached an agreement with the teachers. It’s a scenario that’s not restricted to this region alone, but is being witnessed in districts nationwide. As a consequence, parents and kids are stuck in an uncertain situation.
The lack of a contract means there’s no calendar set out for the year. So, parents can’t forward plan their year and activities for their families. One parent anonymously shared her frustration as she’s left hanging unsure of when she can plan her family vacation.
An update on the negotiations is expected from the district’s school board during an upcoming meeting. Although no exact timing has been specified, Northville Public Schools have assured parents it’ll be brought up during the discussion, easing a few anxieties.
There are over 7100 students in the Northville school district, and it’s known as the third-best school district in Michigan. With such a reputation to uphold, teachers are advocating for improved quality of life and job security.
As the situation unfolds, Northville parents, students, and teachers anxiously wait for a resolution.
