ADAMS TWP — The fact finder report in the Mars School District contract impasse with employees has failed.

Both the teachers union and the support personnel union, which includes secretaries, cafeteria workers, custodians and paraprofessionals, rejected the reports produced by state fact finder Marc Winters.

But the school board voted unanimously Wednesday night to approve both reports.

Representatives for both unions who attended the meeting announced that their respective members had rejected the reports.

The contracts for both unions expired June 30. The board decided to call in a fact finder after contract negotiations became unproductive.

Since the unions rejected the fact finder’s reports, both sides must vote on the reports again within 10 days.

Winters created reports that he felt were a compromise between both sides’ assertions.

Had both sides approved the reports, they would have become the basis for new contracts.

District solicitor Tom King said the content of the reports would not be released until after the second board vote, which is expected to be on Tuesday.

After the board meeting, Scott McCarthy of the Mars Area Education Association would not discuss the vote rejecting the report or the facets of the report the union membership disagreed with.
