The Salina USD 305 school board and teachers are struggling to come to an agreement on a new contract.

According to the district, the USD 305 Negotiations Team and NEA-Salina believe they are at impasse over one item: compensation.

The USD 305 Board of Education says it appreciates the hard work and dedication displayed by both the district’s negotiations team and NEA-Salina’s negotiations team. Both teams have worked diligently making proposals and counter-proposals in an attempt to come to agreement.

Both teams are hopeful that this additional step will bring the negotiations process to resolution.
