If you missed a story or two this week, don’t worry—you can catch up in just a few minutes by checking out the summaries below.
- The Brecksville-Broadview Heights teachers and staff unions held a press conference on Monday to explain their latest proposal: the unions want the school board to give up its right to impose a contract. In exchange, they would give up their right to strike. “The pledge,” as the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Education Association and Organization of Support Staff are calling it, would last until a new contract was signed. There has been no news from the school board on the proposal yet.

I read somewhere the teachers are asking for the pledge to promise them 100% medical coverage and promised 5% increase in pay. Does anyone know if that is true?

Do you mean in the actual language of memorandum of understanding, Carolyn?

Carolyn,
That wasn't even in the unions first proposal, where they asked for 0% raises and added 15% paying for medical. Where did you read that? Or was that "read somewhere" just an attempt to legitimize what you are asking? Didn't you go look at the BOE's website with the proposals?
