INDIANAPOLIS — A tentative agreement has been reached in the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township between the schools and the teacher's union.
The collective bargaining deadline for Indiana school districts and teachers was Nov. 15.
On Thursday, a group of teachers and their supporters protested outside the school board meeting, calling for better wages.
Pike Township has switched to e-learning multiple days this school year because of staffing disruptions.
