Dear Community Members,

We are pleased to announce that our school district and our teachers have reached a tentative agreement on the contract negotiations. This agreement represents a collaborative effort between both parties to address the needs of our students, teachers, and the community as a whole. The tentative agreement reflects our shared commitment to providing a supportive and conducive learning environment for all students, while also recognizing the dedication and hard work of our educators. While specific details of the agreement will be communicated in the coming days, we want to express our gratitude to everyone involved in the negotiation process for their professionalism, cooperation, and commitment to finding common ground. We believe this agreement is a testament to the strength of our community and our collective resolve to prioritize education. Thank you for your continued support.
