The Wingham Advance-Times, 1969-09-11, Page 2f;s Page 2 -- Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Sept. 11, 1969 Board sets salary schedules for non -teaching employees BY RICHMOND ATKEY Huron County Board of Edu- cation, at last week's meeting voted 9-3 to adopt the report of the salary committee appointed for the .purpose. Objection taken by John Broadfoot, R. R. 1, Brucefield, was that "we are offering more money than asked for and I think the fringe benefits are out of order for part-time employ- ees. " This applies chiefly to bus drivers hired by the board. John B. Lavis, Clinton, board chairman, pointed out that the total increase for 37 bus driv- ets was a net figure of $2,950 which works out to $80 per year. The committee recommend- ed that the McKillop Township bus drivers be paid $211 per month and all other board -em- ployed bus drivers be paid $170 per month. Each bus driver will be allowed ten days' sick leave per year for which the board would pay a replacement driver at the rate of $8. 50 per day. At the end of the school, year, each of these will be paid a bonus of $8. 50 per day for the unused balance of his ten days'. sick leave. It also was decided that bus drivers be paid $2.25 per hour (.4°) DEDICATE GIDEON BIBLES AS A CONTINUING MEMORIAL May be donated through your local funeral director Placed in Hotels, Schools, Hospitals, Prisons with a minimum of $5 per trip for driving buses on which pu- pils are being taken on field trips. Recommendation of Robert M. MacVean, chief engineer, in connection with salaries paid to engineers, was accepted but no further information was pro- vided. • For all non -teaching em- ployees, the board will pay 50 per cent of the premium for a group term life insurance poli- cy in the amount of $10, 000 for male employees and $5, - 000 for female employees. Submission of Roy B. Dun- lop, business administrator, in connection with the proposed salaries. for cafeteria staffs, li- brarian assistant, and audio- visual aid technicians, was not contained in the formal re- port but was made in commit- tee of the whole at the l a s t meeting of the board. This in- formation will be available at the next meeting on September 15. On recommendation of com- mittee of the whole, the board ratified hiring Mrs. June Coop- er as clerk -typist (purchasing and services) at $70 per week, and Miss Joan Garvie for the upcoming' term at the F. E. Madill Secondary School, Wing ham, at the salary range of $90 to $95 per week. SALARY REPORT EXPECTED The board is likely to re- ceive a report .at next week's meeting. on salary negotiations with the 341 elementary teach- ers, Robert M. Elliott, R.R. 3, Clinton, chairman of the Ele- mentary School Teacher's Ne- gotiating Committee informed the press following the meeting. "It would be out of order to make a statement unless 4 8 hours' notice had been given the teachers, " he said. The committee had met the teach- ers' committee only the night before. However, he anticipat- ed an early report. The same attitude and the same result were not forthcom • Ing from D. J. Murphy, Goder- ich, chairman of the board's committee negotiating with the 264 secondary school teachers. "We are not in a position to make a statement tonight, " he stated bluntly. giving no indi- cation when the committee would be in a position to report to the board. Apparently. ne- gotiations are still proceeding with the secondary school teach- ers. eachers. John B. Lavis, told the press that many county Boards of Ed- ucation in Ontario have not yet reached salary agreements. and that such a situation had not been unusual prior to the inaug- uration of county school boards. Agreements often had been ar- rived at after the opening o f school, he pointed out. • The matter of negotiations with the two teachers' commit- tees came up when the board was considering a report of the salary committee for non -teach- ing employees and the press re- quested an explanation for the apparent delay. The board, at last week's meeting, confirmed items pass- ' ed in a previous committee of the whole: (1) That Mrs. Edna Bell of Seaforth Public School, be paid in category 5 of the proposed salary schedule; (2) That res- ignation of Miss Joan Armitage from the staff of Wingham Pub- • lic School be accepted; (8) That Miss Jo -Ann Aldwinkle, Harry Brooks and Mrs. Eleanor Scott be hired on probationary con- tracts at salaries according to schedule, duties commencing September 1, 1969; (4) That calculation of elementaryschool teachers' positions on salary grades .part years of experience be calculated as follows: one to five months to go back to pre- . vio us even year, and six to nine months to go forward to, the next year of experience.
