TweetPublished: Thu, September 4, 2008 @ 7:40 p.m.
NEWTON FALLS — Teachers in Newton Falls Exempted Village Schools will be on strike Friday after the union notified the board of education that it had rejected the board’s last offer.
Schools will remain open with substitutes in place of striking teachers.
In a press release today, Superintendent David Wilson that “the teachers will be on strike on Sept. 5. The administration has been preparing for the possibility of a teachers’ strike. Therefore, school will be open on Friday with qualified substitutes and students are expected to attend.”
Friday night’s football game between Newton Falls and Windham High School has been canceled.

What happened with the Board's philosophy.."we'll keep the schools open"? With schools open, the game should have been played. And, I can't wait to see the 'quality' subs that will be brought in for $175.00 per day and teach absolutely nothing to the students that do show up. And, hoow quickly the Board will point out that they are state licensed and have clean backgrounds..problem is, they can't teach!! Some will even bring their portable TV's to class along with small refrigerators and microwaves.
What a joke the NF Board is!!
