You're living up to your name justanidiot.

The teachers do not have a contract and neither side is bound to follow the old one. What you're mistakenly referring to is a "sunset clause" which in practice means that the terms of the teacher's contract continue until a new contract is signed.

BUT the RI Supreme Court has ruled against this. An expired contract is in fact expired and no longer valid. This is part of the issue between the WTU and the school dept. The WTU felt the contract should continue, but the school department and the courts feel otherwise.
