Late Monday night, negotiators for the Janesville School Board and teachers union reached a tentative contract agreement.
Today, they made the details of that contract public.
It took them a year to get to this point.
“This long and stressful process has a positive and a big sigh of relief,” School Board member Amy Rashkin said.
“Everyone made sacrifices and I think it was well worth it,” Janesville Education Association President Sam Loizzo said.
Big points reached in the agreement were health care and in-service hours for teachers.
Instead of 2 days per month of in-service, they now have one.
“We agreed to make premium share payments ranging from $17 to $115 a month,” JEA negotiator Dr. David Parr said.
