Board rescinds policy amid contract dispute with teachers
The school board halted a new professional policy after teacher representatives argued it violated the contract with the Ohio Education Association. The policy limited workers to one conference per year, restricted board expenses to 100 dollars per person, and required meeting summaries. Officials plan to consult the county prosecutor and renegotiate if needed while awaiting a January decision. The board also notes a grievance over unpaid personal days, an agreement with AFSCME, senior citizens gold cards for free events, and sets January 6 for the organizational meeting with a December 23 special session to finalize 1976 finances.
