School District Approves Contracts with School Nurses, Cafeteria Staff

Nurses and cafeteria staff had been working under expired contracts.

The Three Village Board of Education on Tuesday approved new labor agreements with the district's nurses and cafeteria staff, who had been working under long-expired contracts.

According to Jeff Carlson, assistant superintendent for business services, both new contracts are "not substantially different" from their predecessors, but they represent the culmination of negotiations that have stretched back as far as June of 2008.

For the cafeteria staff, members of the Civil Service Employee's Association who have been working without a contract since June of 2010, the school board approved a five-year contract retroactive to the 2010-2011 school year.
