VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – The Volusia County teachers union announced Tuesday it reached a deadlock in negotiations with the school district, issuing an impasse.The Volusia United Educators says it won’t budge on its stance and with days before students are expected to start school, they believe the district’s reopening plans need to do more to protect the health of everyone returning to campus.VUE’s stance is that the district’s plan is unsafe and threatens the lives of over 3,800 educators represented by the union and the overall community.“Teachers want to begin the 2020-2021 academic year more than anyone.
However, we must reconvene in a manner that prioritizes the health and safety for all,” a union spokesperson wrote in a news release..
