Norwich teachers one step closer to signed contract

NORWICH – Norwich teachers could have a new contract in place as early as tomorrow, according to a teacher’s union official.

The Norwich Educators Organization made the announcement late Monday that its membership had approved a tentative agreement reached by the Norwich Educators Organization and the district by an overwhelming majority. Now only the board of education’s stamp of approval is needed before the contract can go into effect.

“If it’s passed tonight, then tomorrow it’s good,” explained Erika Kwasnik, who serves as first vice president of the Norwich Educators Organization.
