Negotiations Set for Sunday in Strongsville Teachers' Strike

Another negotiating session between the Strongsville Board of Education and striking Strongsville teachers is set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday, April 14 at a federal mediator's office in Independence.

Tracy Linscott, president of the Strongsville Education Association, announced the newly scheduled session during a union rally Friday evening.

It will be the first bargaining session in nearly a week. The two sides met for 40 hours over four days -- April 3, 4, 5 and 8 -- and emerged to say no progress had been made.

The teachers have been on strike for six weeks.

Since the last bargaining session, the School Board has asked the union membership to take another vote on the district's last best offer.

The SEA is calling on individual School Board members to sign an agreement to take the contract to binding arbitration.
