The Jennings County School Corporation met in a public session to ratify the teachers' contract, and the board approved the measure by a 6-0 vote. Staff told the board the contract had been reviewed at a prior hearing and posted online for public review before the vote.
"So at this time, we are ready to move forward and ask for approval of the ratification of the teacher's contract," said a staff member (Speaker 2), summarizing the background and the recommendation to proceed.
