After more than eight months of negotiations, the Bemidji Education Association has reached a tentative agreement on a new two-year employment contract with Bemidji Area Schools. The long negotiating process included demonstrations by BEA members and supporters on several occasions.

According to a press release from the BEA, the agreement between the bargaining teams of the union of educations and the school district was reached on Monday. The previous contract expired on June 30 last year.
