Point of Clarification

On behalf of the teachers in the Colfax School District I would like to clarify a point in the May 12 Gazette article ‘Teachers urge school board…’ On April 20 the teacher’s association received an email from the PERC mediator stating that the school district’s hired professional negotiator had cancelled the May 18 mediation session. Any non-communication of this fact was not on the part of the teacher’s association, but between the district and their professional negotiator. The original article implied a lack of communication on the part of CEA when the miscommunication was, in fact, between the district and their hired negotiator.
