CCSD declares impasse in contract talks with teachers' union

The Clark County School District today declared impasse in contract negotiations with the Clark County Education Association (CCEA) after a lack of response to correspondence regarding the scheduling of additional negotiation dates. In an effort to provide an employment contract to teachers before the new school year, CCSD has moved forward on the process of involving a third-party arbitrator. "Teachers deserve answers," said CCSD spokeswoman Amanda Fulkerson. "It is our goal to have a contract in place by the time our employees return from summer break."
