The deadline for teachers in the Harrison Hills School District to reach a contact agreement with the school board expires at midnight on Oct. 1.

The teachers union and school board have been negotiating for weeks, but have been unable to reach a deal.

Harrison Hills superintendent Jim Drexler said plans are in place to keep students in the classroom in the event of a strike. The school board has approved the hiring of Michigan-based Huffmaster, a company that provides replacement workers and security during work stoppages.
