Special to The Citizen
The level of labour stability was
heightened in schools of the Huron-
Perth Catholic District School
Board on Monday, Oct. 22, with the
approval of three-year collective
agreements for all teachers.
But the board's top administrator
admits such ratification is a risky
move, considering the provincial
ministry of education has given no
indication of how much money it
will make available for teacher
salaries beyond this year.
Deals for both elementary and
secondary teachers were among
eight collective agreements
unanimously approved by Huron-
Perth trustees at the regular board
meeting. Two-year deals were also
approved for three separate types of
administrative staff, for secretaries
and educational assistants
represented by the Canadian Union
of Public Employees, and for a
custodian and courier driver based
at the board's Dublin offices. The
board's lay chaplain position also
received a three-year settlement.
"For the most part, they're based
on two per cent (increases) for the
first year," explained
Superintendent of Education
Gaetan Blanchette, answering a
question from Trustee Vincent
McInnes.
Blanchette went on to explain that
the increases .in years two and three
of the three-year, deals would be
"formula-driven," using
combination of the average and
median rates paid to similar
employees in all of the province's
Catholic school boards. For those
employee groups with two-year
deals, the second year's increase
would be based largely on the
increase given to teachers.
Blanchette said the split between
two-year and three-year settlements
prevents a situation similar to what
happened this year, when all of the
board's collective agreements
expired at once. For this, he blamed
the fact the board felt it could only
sign one-year deals with ivachers

Councillors had no objections to
the consent application from J.N.
Cardiff Farms Ltd. with a
condition of the drainage
agreement and the $200 fee.

The quote from Bluewater
Recyclables was accepted at
$71.46 per household making a
in 2000, due to uncertainty about
how much money would be made
available by the provincial
government beyond the current
year's educational grant.
While that uncertainty remains in
place, the province attempted to
bring labour stability to the teaching
profession earlier this year by
forcing school boards to only
negotiate teachers' deals of three
years or longer.
"Now, what we've got to hope for
is that there's going to be enough
money in the funding grants to
cover that type of a contract,"
Blanchette said.
In late September, Blanchette had
predicted trustees would vote on a
secondary school teachers'
agreement at the Oct. 22 meeting.
But the list of eight separate
settlements brought forward for
trustees surpassed any hints he had
given previously.
total of $47,599.52 for curbside
pickup.

Councillor Neil Warwick
advised that there is a big bump in
the pavement on Clyde Line. This,
he said, is not acceptable for a new
paving job.
Councillor Lynn Hoy agreed
saying that the bump is "had."
"Everything was just falling into
place," he explained following the
meeting, after being asked how so
many agreements came together so
quickly.
"Once we were able to come up
with a formula that was suitable, we
were able to use that as a pattern
with the other employee groups."
The new three-year contracts will
expire on Aug. 31, 2004, while the
two-year deals expire one year
earlier.
Only two Huroh-Perth employee
groups weren't included in the list
of agreements put forward Oct. 22.
Custodians currently have a
tentative deal and are set to vote
Nov. 3' for ratification, with
Blanchette expecting to seek trustee
approval at the board's November
meeting. And the director of
education says he hopes to initiate
talks with the board's principals
some time in November.
