The Juneau School District and Juneau Education Association have reached a tentative agreement for a new contract.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed in a joint press release issued on Saturday. They will be announced after the agreement is ratified by both the School Board and JEA membership.

Representatives for both groups said they worked well together to reach a fair settlement.

JEA represents 355 teachers and certified staff in the Juneau School District.

Just last month, the District and Juneau Education Support Staff also reached agreement on a new three-year contract. Other terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
