Gov. Josh Green and the Hawaii State Teachers Association are holding a press conference this afternoon to discuss a tentative agreement between the state and the union representing Hawaii’s 13,500 public school teachers on a new four-year contract.

According to an HSTA news release, the union’s Negotiations Committee recommended the agreement to the board of directors, which voted to approve it during special meetings Saturday, sending it to the bargaining unit membership for ratification. The tentative contract would run from July 1 through June 30, 2027, the statement said.
