Dear Belmont Public Schools Community,

Last night, the School Committee (BSC) and the Belmont Education Association (BEA) continued to work toward a final agreement that reflects well-deserved salary raises for all of our educators over the next three years and real benefits for our students including additional instructional time. We are grateful to the BEA for withdrawing several proposals, which we view as a meaningful step forward. The School Committee, in turn, presented counter proposals and offered tentative agreements on a number of topics.

While the discussion was at times challenging, both parties continue to express commitment to reaching an agreement before the end of the school year. Our next meeting is scheduled in a few weeks, and we remain hopeful that continued collaboration will lead to a final agreement that supports both our educators and the students they teach.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Meg Moriarty, Ed.D., BSC Chair
