The 165 elementary
teachers in. the Bru.ce-
separate "school
�r y eparat .
board have a one-year
contract; their first since
the end of the social con-
tract imposed by the for-
mer NDP government.
At the same time they
voted for the contract,
trustees also approved
staffing decisions that
meet the board's . goal of
no layoff's at the June 25
meeting in Hanover. In
May eight elementary
and two secondary teach-
ers were declared surplus
in what director of edu-
cation semary
Kennedy called .a precau-
tionary- step*, After
trustees ratified the ele-
mentary contract, _ they
rescinded 10 ' lay off
.notices.
Personal administrator
Brent Dykeman) said the
contract allows category
change entitlement for
elementaryteachers.
That means teachershave
a chance to move into a
higher salary bracket by-
taking courses to upgrade
their qualifications. _ That
option was put on -hold
during the three years of
the social contract.
Tinder the new contract,
teachers will also be able
to collect salary for expe-
rience, _
"To pay for this,
teachers are taking three
Unpaid leave days and
taking 100 per cent of the
cost of their long term
disability plan,"
Dykeman said.
"They've committed
to identifying some other
savings in the health care
benefits cost" as well, he
added,.
The teachers will also
work with the board to

review : the existing early
retirement incentive plan,
"to allow more teachers
to. take early retire-
ments." Dykeman said
early retirements' lower
the board'spayroll costs
by eliminating some
employees in the highest
salary ranges. So far, no
changes have been made
to those incentives.
The contract is effec-
tive Sept. 1, until Aug.
,31, 1997. It was ratified
by teachers .londay.
Teachers' president Bob
Richards was net avail-
able for comment.
Though secondary
teachers do not yet have
a contract, theboard
rescinded its earlier deci-
sion to declare two staff
redundant. Dykeman
said that decision was
made based on secondary
school enrollment projec-
tioos and attrition' among
staff.
At its last meeting
before summer break, the
beard also ratified two-
yearcontracts for custo-
dians and secretaries rep-
resented by 'LUPE, The
agreements are retroac-
tive to Jan. 1,: 1996 and
extend the terms. of the
existing contracts. while
adding, a commitment
from the unions to dis-
cuss cost reduction mea-
sures to avoid layoffs. .
"We're pretty
pleased," Dykeman said
after Tuesday's meeting,
"They're all good agree-
ments for .the employees,
and the board, given the
harsh economic` times."
