PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Secret Union Grievance Settlement

Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Chad VanArnhem at chad.vanarnhem@kirtlandschools.org and call Board President Joshua Hayes at (440) 256-3311: 'I demand you table the vote on the KEA/OEA Grievance Settlement. The public has a right to know what concessions the district is making to the union before you approve this deal.'
