The Massachusetts Nurses Association circulated a petition on April 30 seeking to gather signatures supporting the Sudbury Public Schools (SPS) nurses in their ongoing contract negotiations. Their contract has been open since the last teacher’s contract was finalized, a period of multiple years, with little public discussion and no reported progress.
Sudbury Weekly has previously reported on the story here.
The SPS School Committee scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, May 6, just before Town Meeting, to review policy updates and conduct an executive session to “discuss strategy with respect to and in preparation for collective bargaining or litigation with the Sudbury Education Association and the Nurses’ Union…”
That executive session may well set the trajectory for contract negotiations and next steps with both groups, but two members of the committee will conclude their terms at the end of Town Meeting when Karyn Jones and Mary Stephens are sworn in. Jones and Stephens won their seats in the March Annual Town Election.
