The school board and the Merrill Area Education Association negotiating team had reached preliminary agreement on provisions of the contract Monday night. The agreement must still be formally ratified by the school board.

School Supt. Roger Lowney said, however, that he anticipates the board will ratify the agreement since the entire board acted as its own negotiating team. Lowney said details of the agreement will be released after he and Patrick Buick, chairman of the teachers' negotiating team, have worked out wording of the master contract, probably sometime next week. Lowney did, however, announce the 1972-73 school year calendar which was part of the agreement, noting that many residents use the school calendar as a basis for making plans. Calendar for the next school year lists 180 teaching days.

Students throughout the school district will report for the first day of classes on Monday, Aug. 28. Last day of classes for the school year will be Wednesday, May 31. Major holiday school vacations will be Thursday and Friday, Nov. 23 and 24 for Thanksgiving; Saturday, Dec.
