The Eaton Rapids Public Schools board has been working with
the teachers' union to resolve the contract issue. Multiple negotiation meetings and mediation
sessions have been held over the past year or so, and some progress has been
made (updates on negotiation progress can be found on ERPS's website). The biggest obstacle in the way of
giving the teachers a raise is simply the school's budget constraints; attempts
to enact millages to get more money for the school have been met with
resistance from some members of the general public, meaning that there hasn't
been much left in the budget to put toward salary increases. That being said, the teachers and the board are
working in tandem to resolve the issue.
