District 113A Teachers Union Approves Contract; Board to Vote Wednesday
School board will also consider 2013 audit during a special meeting Wednesday, and will hear reports on technology upgrades and capital improvement needs.
The Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A Board of Education is expected to vote Wednesday on a new contract with its local teachers' union.
The board will consider the contract during a special meeting Wednesday, along with salary recommendations for administrators and non-affiliated employees for the 2013-14 school year, according to the meeting agenda.
The Local 604 of the American Federation of Teachers—District 113A's teachers' union—ratified the new contract during a meeting Sept. 26. The union has been negotiating with the district since June, when its previous contract expired.
The board last approved contracts for teachers and support staff in 2011. The two-year contract, which expired June 30, included a two-year salary freeze.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Old Quarry Middle School, 16100 W. 127th St.
