Poll: Will Spring Break Help or Hinder Contract Talks?

Tension is high ahead of next week's break—maybe a 'time out' won't be a bad thing.

The shortened spring break starts Monday at Watchung Hills Regional High School, and along with students enjoying a break from the school pressures will be negotiators working on the teacher contracts.

"We have not been approached by the board or mediator to meet during spring break," WHREA President Sean DiGiovanna said, Thursday.

There's certainly the possibility a meeting will still occur, but perhaps a little time without the daily pressures will help advance negotiations ahead of the scheduled meeting April 12.
