KENAI, Alaska (AP) - The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and unions representing teachers and support staff have reached a tentative agreement and averted a strike that would have started on Tuesday.

The three-year agreement covers a contract period from July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2021.
