United Teachers of Wichita

District and union negotiators reached the tentative deal through talks brokered by a federal mediator.

A deal reached with United Teachers of Wichita would raise teachers' base salaries by 1.5%. Some teachers would get bonuses linked to additional experience and education.

A number of changes are in place ahead of the fall semester, with more issues set to come up.

Union and district negotiators returned to the table for one day before declaring an impasse in contract talks.

A union spokesperson says the move came as a surprise and that the union would rather continue regular negotiations.
