The 24 principals received a flat raise of $1,385 which is a five per cent increase. is now $32,435.. Vice principals are paid on the teachers grid plus a responsibility allowance which remains the same as last year from $2,800 to $3,400. The total wage package will cost the Huron County board of education $7,600,131 compared with $7,003,748 last year, a 8.52 per cent. increase. The teachers, members of the Huron branch of the Ontario Public School Men Teachers Federation and the Federation of Women Teachers Association of Ontario, ratified the pact last week. Ron Ritchie, chief negotiator for • the teachers, said earlier the contract is "fair." Other changes in the contract the teachers were granted include an increase in mileage allowance from 19c to 21.7c per mile, which is, equivalent to. the school board's rate. Another change is an improved monetary reimbursement for leaves of absence from $33,000 a maximum yearly rate. Shirley Hazlitt, trustree for Colborne and Goderich townships, and chairman of the board's negotiating team, said later the board is "pleased" with the, contract. "To be honest it is more than we had hoped to settle for... but because of the arbitration ruling we felt we had to be fair with the other panels," she said. A provincial arbitrator awarded the secondary teachers in the county a 6.75 per cent increase for 1978-79, In. other business, Mrs. Hazlitt suggested a letter from Education Minister Betty Stephenson, outlining the governments anti-inflation program be sent to arbitrators rather than to school boards, "Clearly, it is of the utmost importance that arbitrators, in making their awards, adhere not only to the princip les of fair compensation but .also to the necessity for general economic • restraint in the post controls period," read Mrs. Hazlitt from the minister's letter. "All I know is that last year our allotments (grants) were down considerably and yet our costs were fixed by the arbitrator," she said later, adding that the gap between grants and salaries has to be paSsed on the local taxpayer. Mrs..Hazlitt also.suggested a copy of the letter be sent to the various teachers' federations and the provincial education relations commissions, which, oversees teacher's negotiations. •One could travel right along ,with her as she described the sights.She also described the trip she won which took her to the United Nations Building in.
