District, Teachers Tentatively Agree

With the help of a federal mediator, negotiating teams representing the Coeur d’Alene School District Board of Trustees and the local teachers union reached a tentative agreement on Thursday. “Terms of the agreement are still being compiled and finalized,” said district spokeswoman Laura Rumpler, in a message to The Press. “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.” No additional information was provided regarding the details of the tentative contract settlement. The next step for the school board and the Coeur d’Alene Education Association - the local chapter of the state teachers union - is to ratify the agreement, Rumpler said/ Maureen Dolan , Coeur d’Alene Press.
