In a letter to 240 district employees, Southeast Local Schools Superintendent Mike Shreffler criticized Gov. John Kasich for saying public employees get free pensions and free health care coverage.
Shreffler said he attended a private meeting with Kasich and House Speaker William Batchelder, R-Medina, on Sept. 1 at a factory in northeast Ohio with about 200 mostly Republican supporters.
Shreffler said he got irritated when he heard the governor allege that Ohio’s public employees don’t pay anything toward their pensions and health care coverage.
Kasich press secretary Rob Nichols said Shreffler’s recap of the governor’s remarks is inaccurate and reflects Ohio Education Association talking points.

COLUMBUS -- Mike Shreffler said he didn't expect a scathing email account of a recent John Kasich appearance in Medina to be used as a rallying cry for Senate Bill 5 opponents statewide.
But the message, initially sent by the Southeast Local Schools superintendent to his staff, has been forwarded far beyond the county line and is gaining attention from teachers and officials in other districts.
"This governor is a bully and the legislature is his posse," Shreffler wrote following an invitation-only event with business and community leaders. "We have to stand up this bully and his posse."
But the administration and at least two other people who attended are denying Shreffler's account of the session and the strong language he used to describe Kasich's comments.
