Negotiations Update: T/E School Board Votes Not to Accept Fact Finder's Report Due to Long Term Financial Implications T/E School District Presents a New 3-Year Proposal and Side-by-Side Comparisons     At a special meeting on August 20, 2012, the T/E School Board voted for the second time to reject the Fact Finder's Report in its entirety. The Board was required by law to vote a second time on the Fact Finder's Report since it was not accepted by the Board at the special meeting on August 9, 2012.   However, the District offered the Tredyffrin/Easttown Education Association (TEEA) an on-the-record proposal on August 15, 2012 in a bargaining session that was mediated by the assigned State mediator. The District's proposal goes beyond the Fact Finder's recommendations and provides additional incentives to the TEEA for accepting the 3-year proposal while simultaneously moving the District towards fiscal sustainability. A side-by-side comparison of the Fact Finder's Report and the District's latest 3-year proposal is available in the "Success and Sustainability" section of the T/E School District web site at www.tesd.net.   The District appreciates the support of the community for funding a quality education for T/E students. The District's goal continues to be the adoption of a teachers' contract before the opening of school. The Board and the District are committed to working diligently with the TEEA to reach a settlement before the start of school that considers all the stakeholders; the District students, the community taxpayers, and the dedicated faculty.   The August 20, 2012 special meeting is currently airing on T/E TV at 9:00 pm daily and at 10:00 am on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.   Click here for a side-by-side comparison of the Fact Finder's Report and the District's latest proposal.
