Nashua High Students to Webcast April 8th Aldermanic Debate on Teacher Contract
Video production students and founders of we-the-students.org, which received over 1,000 hits the day of the launch, will employ their live production skills to cover the Alderman's meeting at City Hall April 8th.
It is widely expected that this fourth Teachers contract, ratified by the Nashua Teacher's Union and accepted by the Board of Education, will be taken up by Nashua Aldermen tomorrow night. The financial analysis is complete, and Mayor Lozeau has expressed support for the deal.
The coverage will differ from the government channel's "documentation" coverage (CH 16) by including remote reports from City hall by NHS South Senior Tania Mendes. Mendes will interview speakers and others attending the meeting and report from a Nashua High student's point of view. Other elements such as live interviews from the Nashua High South TV Studio are planned.
Both the City of Nashua and the school district have been supportive. The city's information technology department has provided a high speed computer link to the TV Studio for the students and the district has agreed to broadcast the feed live on CH 99. The webcast will allow anyone in the world with a high-speed connection to see the program.
In the week leading up to this meeting, Nashua High students interviewed Alderman Teeboom, MacLaughlin, and NTU President Sherman regarding the negotiation process and the nature of the agreement. Mayor Lozeau will be interviewed today. Those interviews are available on the student website.
The student broadcast on Channel 99 will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is scheduled to end at 8:30 p.m. The webcast will continue as events dictate.

Two Votes Down, One More to Go
Teachers passed their fourth tentative contract proposal at a union meeting held in South's auditorium this afternoon.

The school board has also approved the new teacher's contract with a vote of 7-0. The details of the contract have been released. The contract will now move on to the board of aldermen.
The contract is slated to go before the Board of Aldermen on April 8.
