LEWISBURG — Dissenting votes were noted as Lewisburg Area School District (LASD) directors agreed to raises for unionized cafeteria employees.
Effective Thursday, July 1, members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) will receive a one-time wage increase of 31 cents per hour. The increase will be in addition to and not in lieu of an increase already prescribed in the contract with the district.
