According to chief negotiator Rick Green, some progress was made in this morning's mediation.
Both sides met for approximately four hours, exhanged some proposals and inched closer on a few issues. "I would not call it substantial progress," Green said, "but there was movement."
Both sides will meet again on Monday at 4 p.m. with the mediator. The ECCFA filed its 10-day intent to strike notice this past Friday with the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board; however, talks between the board and association continue.
