that the neat muse is up to the

Thc last tcachcr response loth':
board's proposal ss as a
suggestion that the two sides
consider negotiating a contract
for the 1978- 79 tt rm as well as the
pact in dispute. Weary said the
teachers felt that the move may
permit negotiations to become
more fruitful and if successful

said ,t .would be willing to
neg.otime the 19-8.-4 contract if
the Ica,'Itcrs agreed not to take
.Int strike actions or work to rule
until September of 1978. In return
the board offered to pay the
leathers according to the salary
s. hrdulr agreed to in the 1977.78
c,•ntract.
Salaries are not in dispute in
the current contract. Pay rates
were agreed to early in negoti-
ations with the teachers accepting
a 71: percent increase including
cost of living. Thc new rate sets
the average secondary school
solar' at S23.200 a year.
Board chairman John Elliott
sail he didn't think the issue
required a teacher vote. He
pointed out that it was very
doubtful there would be a vote
before March 28 since many of
the teacher used the March
Break to go on vacations planned
prior to the ktckout.
The teachers are not required
to remain in the counts during the
school break and Elliott said he
hoped the tcachcr ncgotialin
team would agree to the new
terms and that the 274 members
would accept that and return to
the classes.
Hill said earlier he was
surprised at tcachcr reactions to
hoard offers and continual refusal
by the teacher's negotiators to
send thc offers to the teachers for
a vote.
Hill said the move by the board
was "logical" and while it didn't
settle the dispute it guaranteed
that the current school year willbe
completed without interruption.
He said it may allow both parties
to take advantage of a "cooling
off' period before beginning
negotiations in earnest of the next
school year.
The board's proposal hinges on
the teacher's acceptance of a
' committee to establish pupil
penod contacts which is the
number of students a teacher is
required to see in a day. The pupil
contact is the main bone of
contention in the dispute. The
teachers want thc board to agree
to a specific number of students
per tcachcr and the board wanted
thc matter left to its discretion
each school year. '
The saw off suggested by the
board is a committee consisting of
one representative from the
teachers. one school board
trustee. one senior education
administrator and a principal
appointed by the principal's
association.
The board agreed to the
committee system and poised i
