HUNTLEY – A canceled bargaining session at District 158 has turned controversial, with the district’s teachers union openly questioning the board’s commitment to bargain in good faith.

The Huntley Education Association, representing 600-plus teachers, released a statement late Wednesday claiming the school board canceled a bargaining session scheduled for Tuesday.

“We hope this was a genuine oversight on the part of the board and that the cancellation of the scheduled mediation is not an intentional subversion of the statutorily prescribed bargaining process,” HEA said in the statement.
