MACOMB, ILL. -- Teachers at Spoon River College have reached a tentative agreement.

A nine-hour bargaining session between the Spoon River College Faculty Association and the college Tuesday ended in an agreement.

“I'm pleased to announce that after a great deal of work, we have a tentative agreement we can present to our faculty,” union president Stacy Swanson said.

Details of the agreement were not made public.

Teachers will vote on their new contract at a meeting Friday.

The 34-member union filed an intent to strike notice Jan. 11.
