A meeting between public school paraeducators and education therapist assistants, and the Bermuda Union of Teachers with the Public Service Negotiations Team, was postponed this morning.

A spokeswoman for the Government said the Department of Education had been unaware of the request for staff to attend negotiations scheduled for 11am today.

The meeting was called off to ensure the safety and service of students needing the care of support staff, with negotiations to resume next week.
