The agreement, subject to approval by the anti-inflation board, specifies a 5.5 per cent increase on the salary grid, and a 5 percent increase in respon- sibility esponsibility allowances. Added to the benefit package for the first time, is extended health care insurance and a dental plan to which the board will contribute 90 per cent of the premium cost. The group life insurance plan has been up -dated to provide employees with coverage at one and one-half times their respective earnings. The con- tribution to this benefit and to OHIP will remain at 80 and 90 percent respectively. Teachers required to use their own vehicles for transportation from school to school have been granted an increase from 18 cents to 20 cents per mile. The new contract also provides for an increase in the accumulated sick days from 200 to 220, as well as two days special leave without loss of pay for urgent personal reasons, subject to approval of the Director of Education. The new salary grid ranges from $8,825 for level one teachers with no experience, to $23,395 for teachers who have achieved level 7 with twelve years experience. The average annual salary, including increment, will in- crease from $15,731 to $16,975 for the contract year 1977-78. This represents an increased cost to the board of $213 425 for the school year. Both of the chief negotiators, Vincent Young, Goderich for the board and Sandy McQuillan of Seaforth for the teachers ex- pressed satisfaction with ,-the settlement. Mr. Young said, "The teachers were realistic in what they were looking for, consequently the negotiations were solved within a short period of time. A very good settlement for the teachers and for the board. I feel it puts the Huron -Perth Separate board in a favourable position regarding the benefits offered to our teaching staff, as well as an attractive grid for future employees." MR. AND MRS.
