District, Teachers Near Agreement

This just in from Coeur d’Alene School District:

“The School Board and CEA negotiating teams spent today working with a federal mediator on a salary and benefits package that has been tentatively agreed upon by each team.  The next step is for the CEA and the Board to ratify the agreement.  Terms of the agreement are still being compiled and finalized.  A contract is close to completion and both teams are pleased that district employees continue to focus on the great teaching and learning that is occurring daily throughout our schools”/ Director of Communications Laura Rumpler .
