Austintown teachers end school year with contract

Austintown

The Austintown Education Association finished the 2009-10 school year with a new contract.

The contract was approved Monday by the board of education by a 4-0 vote, with a fifth board member, David Schnurrenberger, abstaining without comment.

Superintendent Vince Colaluca said the teachers union began negotiating the contract in April 2009. It is retroactive to 2009 and runs through 2011.

Colaluca said no teacher will receive a pay increase for the 2009-10 school year that just ended. But the salary scale, including longevity pay, will remain the same as the previous contract.
