Youngstown Board of Education and its three unions have agreed to a new three-year deal.
The city school board approved the deal with the AFSCME, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Locals 1143, 1143-A and 1143-B Wednesday. The union locals approved it last Thursday. A news release said those units represent non-certificated employees such as educational assistants, secretaries, custodians, bus drivers and food service employees.
Starting July 1, those workers will have their health care plans through the Stark County Council of Governments insurance consortium. It was not known late today how much money the district would save through the new pact.
It also includes 2-percent pay raises during each of the next three years, effective to Feb. 1, 2015.
