By ANN MARIE AMES ( Contact ) Tuesday, January 22, 2008 - 9:27 a.m.

BELOIT TOWNSHIP—The Turner Education Association Monday ratified contracts for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years.

The school board ratified the contracts Jan. 14.

Negotiations have been ongoing since summer. The union and the district avoided mediation or arbitration.

The teachers will get a 4.39 percent total package increase this year and a 4.2 percent increase next year.

The contract includes an $11,000 health benefits stipend per year for four years for any teacher that retires at the end of this school year or $8,000 per year for a teacher that retires next year.

Turner teachers had been getting a $6,500 stipend per year.

Not just the Janesville School District, but what fails to reach the newspaper is the the Beloit School District hasn't ratified a contract yet either.
