Fairborn teachers approve contract

Teachers in Fairborn just announced they ratified a 1-year deal with a 3 percent raise by a 197-11 vote. Union spokeswoman Marilyn Kaple said the big issue was health care and the new deal includes “logical, acceptable and appropriate” increases in premiums and co-pays. She said the school board’s prior offers included new health care costs that would have eaten up the raise they were offering.

Kepple said teachers will support a levy expected in May in hopes of providing steadier funding for the district going forward.
