Deal Struck At Streator High

There’s no need even to think about a teacher’s strike in Streator.

The Streator High School Board of Education approved a new three-year contract last night with the Streator Federation of Teachers Council.  The vote was 6 to 1 in favor.

Teachers made concession in salary by agreeing to no pay increase in their base salary while the board in return added two more sick days for teachers and also raised early retirement benefits by 6 percent.

Teachers had been working without a new contract since June.
