PATERSON, NJ - Paterson Public Schools has added $50,000 to its contract with the lawyer who handles its labor negotiations and some employee-related lawsuits.

The district in December increased the limit on its contract with Robert E. Murray of Shrewsbury from $175,000 to $225,000.

Murray handles negotiations with the districts' six labor unions, including its largest, the Paterson Education Association, which represents teachers.
