Mitchell teachers negotiate raises for 2-year deal

The local school board and teachers’ union reached a tentative agreement Monday that will cost the district about $285,000 more next year, or $570,000 over the life of the two-year contract. Mitchell Education Association chief negotiator Curtis Smith said the agreement must be approved by the MEA membership. About half the district’s 200 teachers are MEA members, he said.
