The Akron school board this morning approved a contract that will give teachers raises, while saving the district $1.5 million in health-care costs.
Board members agreed to the two-year pact in a 10-minute meeting.
Teachers will receive a 3 percent raise in each of the next two years. A committee of administrators and representatives of each of the district's bargaining units will decide on health care concessions for next year.
The Akron Education Association, the teachers union, approved the contract Wednesday night.
The two sides had been negotiating since March. The union's contract expired June 30, with members continuing to work under this agreement.
