REGINA — Saskatchewan teachers could return to the bargaining table as early as next week to work out their labour dispute with the province.

Samantha Becotte, president of the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation, told reporters Thursday she’s encouraged by a draft memorandum of understanding from the government.

"Talking about the need for teacher voices to be included in the decision-making process, that is important to have," she said. Becotte said the federation wants a dispute mechanism in the memorandum to ensure money earmarked for student supports actually goes there. He couldn't provide details on the plan, but said the government is working with school boards so students can walk the stage.

"With the minister's comments about putting in resources to ensure there's graduation, should be putting that time and energy into our negotiation process."
