During a special Monday meeting, by a 3-1 voter, the board approved a one-year contract with four one-year renewals with The Nutrition Group Inc. of West Newton, Pa. ….. There are approximately 20 cafeteria workers represented by the Ohio Association of Public School Employees Local 215 and Larcomb said there would be no privitazation. "They are still Salem employees," he said, adding they work for Salem schools and their paychecks will be issued by the district.
