An agreement has been reached between striking teachers and school administrators in the Rutland Southwest Supervisory Union, bringing a six-day strike to a close.

Striking teachers walked picket lines outside Bennington area schools Wednesday, when a marathon negotiating session ended without agreement.

More than 200 teachers in the Southwestern Vermont Supervisory Union are on strike for the first time in nearly two decades after unsuccessful negotiations with school administrators.

These were some of the voices in the news this week.
