LEETONIA – The Leetonia school board approved a memorandum of understanding with the school employees union regarding language in the contract approved in the spring.

At its December meeting, the school board approved the MOU with the Ohio Association of Public School Employees Local #224 regarding language in the contract concerning life insurance. Schools Superintendent Dennis Dunham noted the life insurance increased from $33,000 to $50,000 for the contract, but the change was not reflected in the final version.

In other business, the board approved Izek Cloud as a custodial student assistant effective Dec. 12 at a rate of $11 per hour not to exceed 20 hours per week.

The board also granted supplemental contracts to Frank (Butch) Gregorino as interim assistant girls basketball coach and Michelle Long as junior high robotics coach; accepted the resignations of John Protopapa as head weight room coach and Drew McLaughlin as weight room assistant; and approved Tiffany Davis as Leetonia Community Public Library trustee effective January 2023 through December 2029.
