Bellefonte Teachers Union to Vote on Strike Authorization After Year of Stalled Negotiations

The Bellefonte Area Education Association is holding a vote today to authorize a strike, citing a year of stalled negotiations with the Bellefonte Area School District. The union contends that Bellefonte offers among the lowest professional staff compensation in Centre County, leading to educators leaving the district. Their current agreement expired on June 30, with professional staff starting the school year without a contract.
