(WaSSInk photo) Teachers give increase back to board Huron -Perth Separate School teachers have given up a three per cent salary increaseto help the school board cover costs for additions to three schools. The board ratified the teachers 1984-85 contract at its May 28 meeting by a 9 to 2 recorded vote. Trustees Louis Maloney of Dublin and Tim McDonnell of RR2, Gadshill voted against the agreement. Chairman Ron Murray didn't vote and vice-chairman Michael Moriarity was absent. William Kinahan, whose wife is a teacher, declared a conflict of interest and didn't vote. The teachers earlier ra 'lied the contract in a 72 to 42 vote. "This agreement is uniq e; if not the first of its kind, in the province," states a joint press release from the board and teachers. In effect, the 155 separate school teachers will remain at the same salary they are now receiving. • Trustee Ernie Vanderschott of RR 7, St. Marys, the chairman of the negotiating committee, said the board, because of provincial grant limits, was prepared to offer the teachers a salary increase of up to five per cent. The -teachers who were held back on the salary grid (those earning $35,000 or more) last year, will now move up, he said. Board officials explained that teachers 7rmhlly-,.,{rtove=lop the grid based on their //teats of experience and their qualifications. t174h6 agreement. reached will restore all ,teachers to their respective salary position, who were held back by the Inflation Restraint Act in 1983. It also provides for three per cent increase which 11 teachc will forego for 1984-85. This amount, whit. is approximately 5135,000, is being directed by the teachers towards the board's building projects now underway," said the press release. The $135,000 will go towards material costs of the additions and renovations at Precious Blood Separate School in Exeter, St. Joseph's Separate School in Clinton and Sacred Heart Separate School in Wingham. "It's a unique situation. i don't think this kind of decision is easy to make," said Terry Craig, president of the Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association (OECTA). "But we looked at the facts of the total situation and for. the good of the teachers and the system over the long run, it is an important agreement. "It was a difficult decision for teachers, giving up a three per cent increase • just for one year. But we're willing to make a sacrifice for the Huron -Perth system. Teachers are dedicated to the system and the kids and for one-year are willing to do that," said Mr. Craig, a teacher at St. Patrick's Separate School in Dublin. Mr. Murray praised the teachers for their willingness to become part of the solution of the board's funding problem. He said if the board had -debentured the 5135,000 it would have ended up costing the board about 5300,000. "I can't say enough about our teachers. 1 hope we can deal with them in the future the same way we've been dealt by them,' he said. Acting director of education John Mc- Cauley commended both the teachers and the trustees for the "vision" shown in helping the system now for a future benefit. "We did have a choice," said Mr. Craig. "The teabhers did have to think about the offer. 1 think we made the right decision for the time and situation." The minimum salary for a separate school 'teacher is $16,516 and the maximum is $42,135. Mr. Vanderschot said it will 'cost the board $83,000 to bring the teachers back on to the grid. Also, as part of the contract, both parties have agreed to form a co-operative action committee. This committee will be made up of trustees and teachers and will meet on a regular basis to discuss topics being considered by the board. "This committee was suggested by the teacher committee a number of years ago," said Mr. Murray. "1 see it bearing good fruit." pedwin For that June wedding STORE WIDE CLEARANCE HAPPENINGS MANOR RESIDENTS COMPETE IN LONDON BOWLING TOURNAMENT.
