ST. CLOUD - The teachers in the St. Cloud Area School District are one step closer to having a new contract.

The school board gave their approval this morning.

The teachers began voting on the deal on Monday and have until the end of the day today to cast their ballot.

The teachers had worked the entire school year last year without a contract, but now know they'll be starting this school year with an agreement in place.
