Mad River schools OK new union contracts, pay raises with teachers, other staff

RIVERSIDE — The Mad River Local School District and its two labor unions have agreed on new two-year contracts, records show.

The contracts with the Mad River Education Association (teachers, counselors and other certified staff) and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees Local 342 (secretaries, custodians and other classified staff) were part of a series of 3% annual wage increases that included administrators, according to district records.

All included two-year pay hikes and were approved by the Mad River board of education Monday night, officials said.
