About this Article

Negotiators for the Geneva Education Association and the Geneva school board met until nearly 11 p.m. Thursday in an effort to avert a teachers strike that could start as early as Friday. But neither side said whether a tentative accord was reached, whether more negotiation is planned or whether a strike would happen today. Sarah Miller, the school board's lawyer, said only that a news release would be issued Friday.
