How They're Negotiating

Contract talks open this week between teachers and the Cleveland schools - the surprise isn't in what they're negotiating, it's in how they're negotiating. On The Sound of Ideas, we'll discuss what's at stake as a new schools chief negotiates his first contract with Cleveland teachers. Also, as the Cleveland Police Department accepts applications for the first time in six years, we'll hear how life on the beat is changing. That's Wednesday morning at nine on 90.3.School Talks - Piet Van Lier, Catalyst for Cleveland Schools; Lisa Ann Pinkerton, WCPN; Ignatio Messina, Toledo Blade. Public Safety - Lt. Thomas Stocho, PIO, Cleve. Police; Chief Daniel Hoffman, Parma Police.
