After 10 months of negotiations, the teachers within Lake Villa School District 41 have come to an agreement just a week before their scheduled strike. On Saturday, the bargaining session lasted for 17 hours but the contract that was agreed upon is one that the teachers believe will only help to improve the education standards in their district. Details of the agreement are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
