(Hopewell Township, PA) The teachers contract was  set to expire on June 30, 2022, but no agreement has been reached, and teachers are working under the old contract, according to Solicitor John Salopek. Mr. Salopek’s statement came after a few residents said they heard the teachers were working with no contract. He told the residents, “Be cautious of rumors.” He said progress is being made in the talks to reach a new contract. He told those present that 3 board members are also involved in the ongoing negotiations. If the teachers were to strike they would give Superintendent Dr. Jeff Beltz 48 hours notice and he would notify the proper district officials about the operation of classes in the district’s buildings. The next negotiations are on Monday, March 20, 2023.
