Education Partners, good evening:

This is coming to you a little late, or a little early, depending on if you like getting your District 303 news direct from the source, or from the newspapers tomorrow…

• The Board of Education tonight approved a new three-year contract with the St. Charles Education Association, which represents all of the district’s teachers and other certificated staff. This agreement should help the district meet the community’s goal of attracting and keeping high-quality staff. Read about it here: http://www.d303.org/news/press/teachercontract05pr.htm
