Superintendent reports union ratification, bus issues and construction progress

Superintendent Dr. Bennett told the DeSoto County School Board on Aug. 11 that one union has ratified an agreement covering teacher and non-instructional raises; she said she will bring the agreement to the board at the next meeting for approval. She also reported that the first two days of school have gone well overall, despite a typical first-day bus issue involving a newer vehicle that is under warranty and is being fixed.
