Tentative Teacher Agreement in North Bend, Dec. 17

The North Bend School Board and North Bend Education Association bargaining teams met informally Monday evening in a closed session, attempting to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. A tentative agreement was reached on contract language issues and a financial package. Both sides appreciated the opportunity to discuss issues openly and build consensus based on a better understanding of each other’s concerns. The board and NBEA are glad to move forward and direct even more cooperative energy toward the good work staff and board are doing to improve student achievement in the North Bend district.
