The board again refused to enter salary negotiations if teachers insist on having a professional union negotiator present. Angry teacher representatives said they will negotiate anywhere, anytime, but only with the union representative present. The trustees took the unusual step of polling their members to demonstrate unanimous support for the non-negotiation position. Dennis Zygmunt, chairman of the 12-man teacher negotiating committee warned that the board's position could become "very disastrous."
