WHEELING — The newly formed “Education First” teachers union in Ohio County is eager to engage in discussions with school district officials regarding pressing financial challenges. As Ohio County Schools anticipates a significant revenue shortfall of $8.5 million in the upcoming fiscal year, the union aims to foster a collaborative environment to address these issues.
The union representatives have expressed their commitment to working closely with district leaders to explore potential solutions and strategies that could mitigate the impact of the projected deficit. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the recent announcements from the state’s two major teachers unions, which have called for collective action and support for educational funding.
As the school district navigates these financial hurdles, the union's proactive approach highlights the importance of dialogue between educators and administrators. The outcome of these discussions could play a crucial role in shaping the future of education in Ohio County, ensuring that the needs of both teachers and students are met during challenging times.
