Teacher and support staff strikes extend across Ohio towns
Negotiations were ordered to resume in Brunswick and Toledo as the two-week Toledo strike by teachers and a week-old strike by school employees continued. Judge Peter Handwork mandated immediate bargaining with negotiators, attorneys, and school board members present, amid stalled talks and ongoing class disruptions affecting about 52,000 students in Toledo and 60,000 in the region. The Toledo offer of a seven percent raise for teachers was rejected as insufficient, leaving salaries far below other Ohio cities.

Cleveland schools to get state funds with strings attached
The Ohio Controlling Board approved a 21.5 million advance for Cleveland, to cover March to May operations and $7 million in unpaid bills, while holding back 93 million in future subsidies. The move includes strict reporting on fiscal management and requires expenditures be approved by state officials. Some lawmakers called the advance illegal or unfair, and amendments to compel board admissions were tabled.
