Bargain hunting

The Sumner County Education Association is taking the school board to court: The Sumner County Education Association announced Wednesday it is suing the school board for ceasing professional negotiations and changing terms of employee contracts in meetings held on Oct. 14, 2010, and Jan. 18, 2011.

That second meeting was held the same day Republican state Rep. Debra Young Maggart of Hendersonville introduced a bill that would eliminate collective bargaining between school boards and teachers associations.
