The Elgin Area School District U-46 has been in negotiations with the Elgin Teachers Association in renewing a new multi-year contract for over nine months. Contract negotiations have ranged from compensatory items, such as health insurance and rates of pay, to issues related to school programs, parent-teacher communications, along with other educational programs. Discussion on other issues is still in session, however, progress is slowly being made.
