AMES—The first of two meetings open to the public during the 2012 teacher contract negotiations period between the Ames Community School District and the Ames Education Association will be held at 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 23, in the Ames High Multipurpose Room, 1921 Ames High Dr.

Superintendent Tim Taylor said the good relationship between the District and the Ames Education Association is beneficial to the hard work both parties must accomplish.

The second open meeting will be conducted at the same time and location on Monday, Feb 6, 2012.
