Title-Teachers rally outside Columbus City Schools board meeting as strike looms

snip-"The "practice picketing" took place after union leaders and district officials earlier met for several hours with a federal mediator Tuesday. While a CEA spokeswoman said there was movement on two issues, the two sides failed to reach agreement on a new contract with the scheduled start of the school year on Aug. 24.
CEA and the board are scheduled to meet again Thursday as the board had requested two meetings this week in an effort to reach a settlement."

snip-" CEA — the 4,000-member union that represents Columbus City Schools teachers and other employees — said the union and the school board were able to reach agreement on two outstanding issues, but CEA spokesperson Regina Fuentes said she didn’t know what those two issues were.
“We are still very far apart on a lot of things,” Fuentes said. “One of those things is being accountable when it comes to HVAC and fixing our schools and providing resources. We want language in the contract that speaks to the district coming through on their promises.”

Title-Columbus school board approves temporary pay bump for substitute teachers


snip-"Amid contract talks that have Columbus teachers teetering on a strike, a vote by the Columbus Board of Education could help fill a huge gap in the statewide substitute teacher shortage.

Under a measure approved by the Columbus Board of Education on Tuesday, substitutes will get $100 extra each week for six weeks to do the job. Substitutes play a major role in the district's plan to start the school year on time even if the teachers are on strike."


Snip-" The pay for a substitute teacher in central Ohio ranges from about $120 to $175 dollars per day."
