MCDONALD – Fort Cherry School Board and the district’s teachers union have approved a five-year contract that makes teachers pay for health insurance for the first time.
The teachers ratified the contract Thursday, while the school board approved it Monday.
Teachers will pay $15 monthly for single coverage and $30 monthly for family coverage, said teachers union President Jeff Delach. Teachers also will see raises of between 3 and 4 percent, he said.
