LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Clark County School District and its teachers union have reached a tentative agreement, Superintendent Jhone Ebert said Saturday.

According to a release Saturday from Clark County School District Superintendent Jhone Ebert, a tentative negotiated agreement is in place. The deal is set to go before the Board of School Trustees for final approval on Thursday.

“A primary focus of this agreement is to put a qualified educator in every classroom, and despite the current economic climate and limited resources, CCSD and the Clark County Education Association were able to find a way to provide step and column advancements for all teachers and to increase CCSD’s contribution toward the rising cost of health insurance,” Ebert said in a statement.

Ebert said the agreement addresses concerns from veteran teachers about salaries. Previous agreements attempted to address the CCSD teacher shortage with increased starting salaries. The most recent agreement includes a process to address that issue, Ebert said. The release did not give any insight into that process.

For its part, the CCEA posted on social media Saturday, saying, “CCEA members have spoken: ‘A TEACHER IN EVERY CLASSROOM’ — 97-3% ratified!”
