This summer negotiations between the Strongsville Education Association and the Strongsvillle Board of Education stalled. Unfortunately, the Board has not returned to the bargaining table.
The teachers, however, returned to their classrooms on August 24 without a contract and continue to provide Strongsville students with a high quality education because we care about your children. After agreeing to contract concessions one year ago that cost some teachers thousands of dollars, the Strongsville teachers’ proposal for a continued pay freeze was ignored by the Board.
Teachers understand the ups and downs of the economy. We don’t want to extend our district’s resources unduly. However, if the Board’s poor planning and poor stewardship continue, there will be even more serious concerns for the entire community.
Teachers make the difference. Ultimately, all the teachers are asking for is a fair and equitable agreement.
