Teacher Md for Exeter The board approved a request from Exeter Public School principal to teacher aide for the term. Ln a letter to the board, Chapman said kindergarten registration has reached 63 for September 1976. He said physical space for a third kindergarten class would be a problem and statistics available for the next three years do not suggest a need for increased kindergarten facilities. The Exeter principal continued, "The cost of equipping an extra kin- dergarten room is not reasonable at this time. For these reasons we feel that a teacher aid would prove to be...... a greater value' than establishing a half-time program. Approve Atikokan Request The board gave unanimous approval to a recom- mendation that the Anti - Inflation Board publicly declare' that all incremental wage increases 'be included within the allowable wage increases. The request continued, by permitting increments to be excluded from guidelines the AMB is allowing a situation to exist in which the public sector is held to maximum wage increases while at the same time being called upon to support wage settlements for teachers which will ex- ceed the AIB maximum.
