BELLOWS FALLS — Windham Northeast Supervisory Union teachers will stage an informational picket today, urging school district boards to reach an agreement on a contract. The picket will take place at 3:15 p.m. outside the supervisory union’s office at 25 Cherry St. in Bellows Falls.

WNESU teachers have been working without a contract since June 30. Bellows Falls Union High School teacher and WNESU spokeswoman Erica Moody said “it’s long past time” the district negotiates a contract with the teachers.

“We must stop spending money on a protracted negotiation process and instead put the money into investing in our schools through a settlement that is fair to us, fair to our communities and good for our students,” Moody said. “We urge the boards to reach a settlement with us now. While we’ve been in the classrooms without a contract for seven months, our patience is not without limitation.”

The WNESU represents 172 teachers at schools in Bellows Falls, Athens, Grafton, Rockingham, Saxtons River, and Westminster.
