Monticello union members file notice for possible strike

MONTICELLO – The Monticello Education Association voted "overwhelmingly" Tuesday night to file an intent to strike as the Monticello School Board and the union have failed to reach a contract settlement.

The teachers' contract expired in August, and the two groups met with a federal mediator last Thursday, but reached no agreement.
