Blue Ridge Federation, Blue Ridge Board of Education Pleased with Agreement

Both sides of the contract negotiations for teachers in the Blue Ridge district say they are pleased to have an agreement in place and are ready to move forward.

 

Late Monday night and into the early morning hours Tuesday, an agreement was reached between the Blue Ridge Board of Education and the Blue Ridge Federation. Don Anton is the President of the Blue Ridge Federation and says his group is pleased that things are wrapped up and they can get back to teaching kids.

 

 

Superintendent of Blue Ridge Schools Susan Wilson says they are very pleased they were able to come to an agreement and look forward to moving forward with the work of the district.

 

 

While the session took over seven hours, Anton says the two sides were making good progress and they felt it would be beneficial to keep going. Both Wilson and Anton say it was their objective to come to an agreement each time they sat down.

 

 

Details of the agreement will be released Monday after the deal has been ratified by the teachers union on Sunday.
