The tea- chers are amateur negotiators who give up over 200 hours of family time annually, without pay. to try to improve the sta- tus of the professional educa- tors they represent and the professional educational servic- es they provide. "Understandably then per- haps, they are less patient than the negotiators of the school board on the other hand, who are paid a salary for their part- time activities in the field of education, and who often use school board activities and successes as stepping stones to greater political careers.” MILLWOOD Recreation Ltd.

This meeting was adjourned without setting a definite date for the next meeting.” Major stumbling block is the insistence of the teachers’ group that the new salary for- mula be based on “equal per- centage increase for equal in- crease in experience and qualif- ication.” Mr. Jones continued, “The decision became effective at noon on March 14, following a meeting between the two teams. The teaching team, hopefully, will report to its mass membership on March 18." Teachers Say Salary Negotiations Broken Off The statement was made in an Open letter to citizens and board of education from the president of the secondary school teachers’ federation for York County, Lin Jones. At a closed meeting on Monday, trustees of York County Board of Education were startled to learn that, “The District 11 Secondary School Teach- ers’ Salary Negotiation team has firmly and defin- itely broken off negotiations with the negotiating team of the York County Board of Education. All offers have been withdrawn by each side.” 884-7456 Crash Kills Richmond Hill Woman Richmond Heights Shopping Centre | In his statement, Mr. Jones ‘declares, “The teaching mem- bership has reached a point of open disgust and frustration at the annually recurring spectac- le of bickering and bargaining as to which teacher W111 get how much more th’an another; and for what . . ." (Trustees receive an annual increment of $3,000 a Year, re- gardless of how many board and committee meetings they attend. The trustee negotiating team includes. in addition to Mr. Starr, William Bales, East Gwillimbui'y; Les Burrows, Sut- ton and Georgina; Mrs. Mema Metro boards have also offâ€" ered their teachers increases which fall $100 be'loyv the York County offer, but the offer has been rejected and negotiations in Metro are at present at a standstill. by York County Board ‘ Minimum rates proposed' with last year‘s rates in brack- ets are: Category 1. $7,200 $6,800): Category 2, $7,600 ($7,200); Category 3, $8,400 ($8,000); Category 4, $9,000 ($8,600). Maximum salaries proposed by the board, with last year’s in brackets are: Category 1. $11,700 ($11,200); Category 2, $12,500 ($12,000); Category 3, “Although there are some increases to teachers in other board offers which exceed the corresponding figure in our board‘s offer of February 21, these are achieved by offering less than our board offer to those who are already getting the smallest increases,” Mr. Starr declared. “The average increase in the York County off- er is $839, This represents $308 which would have been payable on the old schedule and $531 improvement. The total cost to the board exceeds any other offer by a substantial amount.” The board’s offer includes increases from $400 to $1,000 in addition to the automatic $400 a year increase which was part of last year’s schedule. The smaller increases have been offered to teachers in their first four or five years of teaching, and the larger to tea- chers near but not at the max- imum. The trustees’ committee how- ever, eame to the conclusion that the teachers were more concerned about getting larger increases for teachers approach- ing their maximum, so conces- sions were made to accomplish this. In the 1969 board operating budget, teacher salaries made up about 65% of the totalhud- get. his committee, Mr. Starr de- clared that, originally, the committee sought to change some of the minimum salaries to keep pace with the cost of living (and to be competitive with other boards) and to work out a schedule that would give every teacher a change in minâ€" imum plus $400 as he moved one step up the grid. “Obviously,” he points out, “those at the maximum did \not get the increase related to mov- ing down the grid." Trip/e Winner At Heights You may be the lucky winner this month. Just follow Mrs. Good’s example and cash your baby bonus cheque in any member store in Richmond Heights Centre. Mrs. Margaret Good, 99 Spruce Avenue, Rich- vale, had $66 more to spend this month because she cashed her family allowance cheque in a member store at Richmond Heights Centre. Because her name was drawn in the monthly promotion, she re- ceived triple the amount for which was drawn â€"$22. In the above picture Mrs. Good is seen on the left as she accepts the centre’s cheque from Don g’Villiams, assistant manager of the S. S. Kresge tore.
