Swope pointed out that current and past members of the school board and current and past employees of the district would be barred from serving on the panel. He said the HAEA and school board would submit factual information to the panel, which would conduct hearings, prepare findings of fact and make recommendations. The HAEA and board then would vote to accept or reject the recommendations. Under the HAEA's proposal, the panel's findings would be "reduced to writing, shared with both parties and published on at least two occasions in area HAEA negotiators said they believe a local fact-finding panel "would clearly expedite a contract resolution." The teachers' negotiating team expressed doubt that next week's mediation session will produce the necessary five affirmative votes from the nine-man school board to produce a contract. The team predicted that unresolved issues will remain unresolved because the board's vote will vary from a posture to a 2-3-4 posture to a 4-2-2-1 posture." Joel Rigel, representative from the Pennsylvania State Education Association and chief negotiator for the HAEA, commented: "While there may be five votes which would permit an acceptable contract solution, those votes currently are (both) in the majority and the minority.

A realignment of the board would be required. I don't see that happening."

Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board's factfinding procedure, the HAEA's proposal contains no requirement that teachers return to work pending the outcome of. the process. School director Capece told the Standard-Speaker last night, "I've been negotiating for the school district for the past years and I have never received as many telephone calls from taxpayers as I have during this negotiating period." He said every taxpayer who contacted him "felt our latest offer was sufficient because it provides teachers with a reasonable increase without necessitating a tax increase." Capece added, "I don't believe there are too many people who get the consensus of taxpayers more than the school board, because we are the people who make the final Regarding the HAEA's proposing a citizens' fact-finding panel, he said the idea should have been considered before the district's 1982-83 budget was adopted.
