Wiscasset Teachers Vent Frustrations
Lincoln County News, February 13, 2008
(excerpt) Wiscasset gifted and talented teacher Deb Olson challenged the school board Tuesday to end its lengthy contract dispute with the Wiscasset Teachers Association and accept the fact-finding panel decision.
Olson said each side had a representative besides the third panel member, who was neutral.
"The three members agreed on many points," she said. "The committee's finding is a compromise."
In an impassioned plea, she urged the board to end the strife so that local teachers can go back to their main business of teaching children without all the distress the situation has created, especially lately with a threatened court injunction.
Her comments come at a time before the matter has to go to interest arbitration and another three-member panel has to be selected.
