YEA contract approved, without comment

YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Board of Education approved a new three-year contract with its teachers Tuesday — but wouldn’t release any information about it.

Dr. Wendy Webb, the district’s superintendent, said she would not comment until the contract went to the state Financial Planning and Supervision Commission that oversees the district’s finances.

Dr. Webb said that the commission will meet on Sept. 13.

The pact, as approved by the school board and teachers, is retroactive to July 1 of this year.

The superintendent said that sending the contract first to the commission has been the practice in the past.
