(Independence) - Could there be a break-through this weekend?

The federal mediator assigned to the Strongsville City Schools Board of Education and Strongsville Education Association negotiations has called a meeting. They will meet at 1:00 PM on Sunday at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service regional office in Independence.

“The federal mediator has asked that our negotiation team be present,” said David Frazee, BOE president. “As I have indicated in the past, the board’s team will be present whenever the federal mediator calls for a meeting.”

While this will be the third meeting that the federal mediator has scheduled since the teachers’ strike started on March 4, it is the first with the negotiation teams.

“We will continue to keep the community informed as the mediation process continues,” said Frazee
