Teachers will try to vote on contract today

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Teachers in Hutchinson USD 308 will try again today to vote on a new collective bargaining agreement.

The vote was to take place Friday. According to USD 308 Human Resources Director Dawn Johnson, the union did not have enough participants to vote on the contract, so voting will reopen today.

The two sides recently came together on a new contract after declaring an impasse during negotiations. At that time a mediator was brought in to try and bring the two sides closer together. If the teachers can get the contract approved the matter could go before the board during tonight's regular meeting.
