Teachers of the Sumner Education Association and Sumner School District reached a tentative agreement on their new employment contracts yesterday, as confirmed by SEA President Hillery Berteaux.

Details are unavailable as of yet, but will be made available as they are released. Berteaux will be meeting with the bargaining support team to prepare an update to be sent to all SEA members, she said. A ratification meeting is also to be determined.

It was incorrectly reported in a prior story that teachers were working without a contract before the agreement was reached. The old contract was extended during the interim.
