Board ratifies three-year labor agreements and adopts matching non-bargained salary schedules
Summary
The board approved a three-year collective bargaining agreement with teachers and a ratification with OPC/OAPSE that include 2% raises and shared health-care increase protection; salary schedules for non-bargained employees and administrators were approved to mirror the negotiated raises.
The Nordonia Hills City School District Board of Education approved multi-year labor agreements and related salary schedules at its June 30, 2025 meeting.
Board members approved a collective bargaining agreement effective Aug. 16, 2025, to Aug. 15, 2029 (teachers) and ratified the OPC/OAPSE agreement effective July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2029. Board speakers said the agreements include 2% annual salary increases and healthcare provisions intended to stabilize long-term benefits costs. The agreements include a provision discussed at length that shares health-care cost increases over 5% between the district and employees on a 50/50 basis.
The board also approved salary schedules for employees not covered by collective bargaining and for administrators, each set at a comparable 2% annual increase and healthcare changes mirroring the union agreements.
Board members praised the negotiation process as collaborative and credited district negotiators, union leadership and staff for reaching settlements. A board member said the approach prioritized "keeping kids first while we were taking care of the adults." Roll-call votes approving the agreements and salary schedules were recorded as unanimous.
