Otsego Local teachers ratify tentative pact

8/8/2007

TONTOGANY Teachers in the Otsego Local School District yesterday overwhelmingly ratified a tentative contract with the board of education, a union spokesman said.

Dale Bernard declined to release the specific vote, but said more than 80 percent of the membership of the Otsego Educators Association, the teachers union, cast ballots. The bargaining unit has 103 members.

The board is scheduled to meet at 6 tonight to vote on the proposed agreement and to consider placing an operating levy on the November ballot.

Mr. Bernard would not give details of the proposed contract.
