The Salt Lake City School District and the teachers association have brokered a tentative salary agreement after the district brought in a federal mediator to help them sort out their differences.
The move follows a stalemate in negotiations over what percent of an increase to give, and after at least two teachers’ protests in recent weeks. It also comes as districts across the state have engaged in a bidding war to attract the best teachers.
Details of the compromise were not available Wednesday. The district said it will release more information Aug. 8, after the agreement has been shared with both the Salt Lake City Board of Education and the Salt Lake Education Association executive board.
