Perhaps it’s a bit early to start handing out Christmas presents, but the Southern Regional Board of Education delivered some on Nov. 19.

With still more than seven months to go until they were scheduled to expire on June 30, the board during its monthly meeting unanimously gave a thumbs-up to ratify the Southern Regional Administrators Association and Southern Regional Support Managers Association contract agreements, solidifying salary details from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029.
