Westlake Schools, Teachers Reach Tentative Contract Deal

Westlake City Schools and its teachers union have reached a tentative contract agreement, superintendent Dan Keenan announced Tuesday afternoon.

Keenan said he could not reveal details of the contract, as it has not been approved yet.

The union will vote on the contract Tuesday, with the vote being counted after 4 p.m. The school board will meet at the central office at 5 p.m. to vote on the contract.

If the deal is approved, the board will then vote on placing an operating levy on the May 7 ballot.

"We did not want to propose a levy until we have the teachers' contract settled," Keenan said.
