In an email to the State Mediator, John Cairns, Neshaminy solicitor Chuck Sweet said that “In order for "meaningful negotiations" to occur, which both parties sincerely want, the Board and the community can only anticipate a meaningful response from the NFT to the comprehensive Board counterproposal of July 18, 2011. There will have been ample time for such a response to be developed.”

NFT to Board: "You have insulted every teacher"
Meeting #31 lasted little more than a few minutes as the NFT attorney, Tom Jennings, proclaimed that the Board's latest offer has "insulted every teacher," and he added that the union would respond in an "appropriate manner."
Board president Ritchie Webb asked to schedule additional dates for talks but the NFT refused to consider his request.
No further meetings are scheduled at this time.

Board rejects latest NFT proposal as "too expensive"
Meeting #30 between the Board's Negotiation Team and representatives from the NFT lasted about 30 minutes this evening.
The Board formally rejected the NFT proposal of May 31, 2011, stating the proposal was too expensive. The Board asked for additional time to prepare a counter proposal with the assistance of the newly formed Neshaminy Citizens Contract Advisory Committee. It was mutually agreed by the NFT and the Board to cancel this Thursday's (June 16th) meeting and reschedule for either the 18th or 19th of July depending on availability of the Board's council.
