Cumberland teachers to talk tonight as school looms

CUMBERLAND – Mediation in the Cumberland School District will continue tonight in ongoing teacher-contract talks as the first day of school looms tomorrow.

The new session was set after agreement was not reached in a mediation session last night.

Teachers reported today to their scheduled professional development sessions, according to Robert A. Walsh Jr., executive director of the Rhode Island chapter of the National Education Association. NEA represents Cumberland teachers.

School is scheduled to start in Cumberland tomorrow.

Check the scheduled start of school in your community at the state Department of Education's Web site.
