Du Quoin school board, teachers union head to mediation
Du Quoin School Board and Du Quoin Education Association failed to reach a contract after about four hours of talks. A federal mediator will be brought in within 10 days as the union plans a 10 day strike notice. Wages insurance and work schedules remain disputed. The district payroll covers 190 people with a 6.8 million budget and a 1 percent raise would cost 68 thousand dollars.
