A school superintendent in St. Johnsbury, Vt., says contract talks between the district and teachers are moving slowly.
Superintendent Ranny Bledsoe says the conversations are respectful, but she thinks there's a long way to go.
The Caledonian Record is reporting that contracts for both teachers and para-educators in the community are being negotiated.
Contract talks are scheduled to be held every other week through March.
Bledsoe says officials hope to reach an agreement by spring.
