1/15/14 - After more than a year of negotiations, Howell teachers may finally have a new contract. Bargaining teams for Howell Public Schools and the Howell Education Association announced today that a tentative agreement was reached early this morning. The tentative two-year contract comes after more than a year of negotiations between the two groups. A special Board of Education meeting has been called Monday evening so that members can formally vote on the agreement. HEA President Jay McDowell told WHMI it’s a fair contract that will benefit both parties. Superintendent Ron Wilson said it’s been a long process and he’s hopeful that the board will ratify the contract. (JM)
