WOBURN – The School Committee and Mayor Scott Galvin share the following statement regarding ongoing contract negotiations with the Woburn Teachers Association.
“School will be closed on Friday, Feb. 3, as members of the Woburn Teachers Association continue their illegal strike action.
“Friday marks the fifth consecutive day that Woburn’s 4,200-plus students have had their education disrupted, and the fifth day their parents and guardians have been inconvenienced unfairly.
“The Committee has made many concessions while bargaining in good faith. We ask the community to read this FAQ sheet to learn more about the tentative deal the WTA agreed to in October 2022, the current negotiation landscape, and more.
“We once again urge teachers to follow both the court and state rulings that have ordered them back to work, and to resume providing high-quality educational opportunities to the children of Woburn.”
