In the meantime parents, upset at the interruption in their children's education, have begun to involve them- selves in the dispute. A group of protesting parents planned to attend the board meeting scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and parents also were being J achers ontintie for higher pay asked to .sign a petition to Education Ministr Bette Stephenson demanding intervention in the dispute. The board is offering the teachers a salary increase, including increment, of 20.6 per cent over two years, an increase from 19.3 per cent in its previous 'offer. However the teachers are demanding an increase of 28 per cent, including incre- ment. The board estimates the teachers' demands, in- cluding salary and workload clauses, would increase its costs by more than 35 per cent over the two years. The board has accepted the recommendation of a provincial mediator that the matters' still outstanding in the dispute go to binding anbitration, with a lump sum payment representing six per cent of the 1978-79 salary paid to each teacher pending the outcome of arbitration. The teachers so far have refused to go along with the recommendation. John Bowers, Bruce County education director, said Tuesday there was little new to announce pending the outcome of the board meeting. Be said students who wished to study at school despite the strike were being accommodated as much as posSible in study halls and libraries by the principals and vice principals. These are mainly the senior students, he noted. • Board signs agreement with elementary teachers The Huron County Board of Education and its elementary school teachers announced this week that both parties have ratified a Collective agreement for the 1900411 • school year.

Principals and vice prin- cipals will receive an eight per cent increase. The average salary paid to vice principals will be $37,842; the maximum salary paid to a principal will be $39,457. Other highlights of the agreement provide for the board to pay 100 per cent of a drug plan. The board presently pays 85 per cent of the drug plan. As a result of the deletion of an extracur- ricular allowance, monies available for staff improve- ment plan have been in- creased to $60,000. from $45,000. Chief negotiator for the teachers was M. Soldan of Exeter. P. Gryseels, per- sonnel relations admini- strator, directed negotia- tions for the board.
