The Bellwood-Antis Education Association announced its intention to proceed with a strike vote following the breakdown of contract talks with the district. Union representatives accuse the Bellwood-Antis School District of walking out of Thursday night’s negotiations after only three and a half hours, presenting a verbal, non-negotiable offer that failed to address the teachers’ proposals. This led to the union’s decision to proceed with a strike vote. The vote is expected to take place on October 31st.
