Columbus city school students get another swipe at having the first day of classes, returning after their teachers approve a new three-year labor deal to end a strike that started last week.
The new contract guarantees climate-controlled learning areas will be the rule in three years, a response to teacher complaints about building conditions. Also for the first time, the district will limit the range of elementary art, music and physical education teachers. Teachers will also get a 4% for each of the next three years.
We’ll talk about the return to classes and more about the impact of the strike and more on our weekly reporter roundtable.
