Coeur d’Alene teachers and the school board reached a tentative agreement Wednesday on a contract for the next school year. The agreement includes a 2 percent salary increase for all employees and no changes in health insurance benefits. It’s the first time since 2014 the board and teachers have reached an agreement without third-party mediation./Bethany Blitz, CDA Press. More here.
