TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas House has approved a collective bargaining compromise between teachers and school boards.

The House passed the compromise bill 109-14 Thursday.

School boards and teachers unions can currently bring dozens of issues to the negotiating table, which critics say leads to deadlock.

The compromise bill would allow each side of the negotiations to bring five issues that would have to be addressed in addition to pay.

The bill’s language came as the result of an extensive amendment proposed by Republican Rep. Sue Boldra of Hays Wednesday that gutted its original provisions.

The original bill would have allowed non-union teachers to negotiate individually for pay and benefits and school boards would not have been required to extend to them deals reached with the union.
