The status of the contract negotiations with the Tewksbury Teachers Association tops a rather light agenda for the School Committee's meeting Wednesday night.

Unfortunately, with the union's current three-year deal set to expire on Aug. 31, agreement on a new contract is not imminent.

"The union has asked that the terms of the existing contract remain in full force until a new agreement is reached," said School Committee Chairman Mike Kelley.

The committee will vote on a memorandum of understanding to that effect at Wednesday's meeting, slated to start at 7:30 p.m. in the Media Room at Wynn Middle School.

Kelley declined to comment on the status of the negotiations, citing the need for confidentiality.

Also on the agenda:

Superintendent of Schools Dr. John O'Connor will provide an update on the reconfiguration of the elementary schools and will provide information on professional development.

Business Manager John Quinn will provide a transportation update, as well as an update on student specific aides and new Federal grant funding.
