Billboards attack teacher contracts

WEST CHESTER, Ohio - Billboards that take a critical stand on teacher compensation are popping up all over Hamilton and Butler counties.

The billboard campaign comes as 15 school districts in the area push for levies.

State Route 42 in West Chester is where you can see one of the 25 signs posted by a Michigan non-profit organization called Education Action Group.

The billboard reads, "Did you get a raise for not dying this summer?"

The organization founder said Ohio schools have a spending problem and teacher contracts need more scrutiny.

The President of the Ohio Federation of Teachers called the billboards "ridiculous" and "exaggerated." Sue Taylor said many teacher unions have agreed to pay freezes and increases in the cost of medical benefits.
