Decatur Teachers Vote to Approve New Contract.

From the Herald & Review: The Decatur Education Association approved a tentative agreement with the Decatur School District on Sunday.

DEA President Alida Graham said 585 members voted and 97.4 percent voted to ratify the settlement.

"It was a strong vote and our members were very pleased," she said.

Until the board approves the contract, which is expected at Tuesday's school board meeting, she said, no details on the length or terms of the contract can be released. Those details will be available at the board meeting if the board also ratifies the agreement.

School will be in session on Monday.
