“The board’s negotiations committee met with representatives of the Bridgewater-Raritan Supervisors Association,” he said in a statement. “The parties did not reach an agreement on salary or longevity issues.”

In December, the Bridgewater-Raritan Principals Association declared impasse and decided it would be filing documents with the state’s Department of Labor after talks were stalled with the board of education.
