Vancouver Public Schools and the Vancouver Education Association have reached a tentative new contract for teachers, counselors and other district staff. If approved, the contract clears the way for school to start on Wednesday. The Vancouver Education Association will vote Tuesday morning at Skyview High School whether or not to approve the contract. “Unlike other districts that only had to address teacher salaries, VEA and VPS had to negotiate an entire contract,” Superintendent Steve Webb said in a news release.
