About 100 Youngstown Education Association teachers gathered outside the city prosecutor's office on Front Street late Thursday morning in support of Shawn Snyder, a teacher hit by a car during picketing last week.
 

Their calls may be ringing hollow, though.
 
City law director Jeff Limbian told 21 News the investigation into that accident hasn't even finished yet, and there's still question as to whether the injured teacher 'may be in part culpable".

The administrator accused of hitting Snyder also has not been put on any kind of leave.

As for the ongoing negotiations, they've been going at a torrid pace throughout Thursday after lasting long past the expected hour Wednesday night.
YEA spokesman Jim Courim told 21 News he's hopeful there could be a deal at any time.
 
Late Thursday, a source familiar with contract negotiations told 21 News talks had stopped for the day after the YEA gave administrators their proposals on seniority and transferring schools within district. The YCSD school board is set to come back to the table Friday with a counterproposal.
 
We pressed him about the crux of this strike - contract language the union has been trying to get removed.
He insists the school board can change that language since the district is back under local control. But the Academic Distress Commission still exists, and there are still benchmarks the district has to hit so that it doesn't go back under state control.

Courim countered that by saying there's an academic improvement plan that's already in place which dictates how things move forward, not the ADC.

We'll have updates on air and online as we learn more about how negotiations play out.
