(Richmond, IN)--Work has been done recently on a contract between Richmond Community Schools and the REA, or teachers’ union.  Here is RCS Board member Kristen Brunton with an update this week:  "We've had four different sessions of collective bargaining and we're happy to report that we have a tentative agreement."  And this is Board President Kym Pickering:  "You really do shake hands when it's all said and done, which is always promising."  Teachers met Thursday regarding the contract and voted for ratification.  A public hearing is set for Monday.
