The Clinton School District and its teachers have a new agreement in place for three years.

Superintendent of Clinton Schools Curt Nettles says this year's negotiations were as smooth as he's had in his time at Clinton as they were able to hash out the agreement in a single day.

Nettles feels the deal they have reached with the teachers union is fair and gives retiring staff a good deal to go out with. He says negotiations are very smooth because there's always communication between himself, the Board of Education, and the union.

Nettles points out part of the reason Clinton schools are so attractive to incoming educators is not only the strong culture of the district but also the strong union agreements they have in place.
