Some difficult- ies arise, however. because there are instances where the elementary teachers‘ qualifica- tions are similar but not identi- cal to those required for some secondary school categories. Negotiations with secondary school teachers are also at a standstill. Although the board negotiating team has met with the teachers more than a dozen times. and its last offer was higher than offers accepted by other boards â€" including Lon- don and Lambton County â€" the secondary school teachers announced last week that they have reached an impasse with York County Board. Basically the elementary school teachers fall into seven different categories. from the beginning teacher with second- ary school graduation and one year at teachers’ college up to those with doctoral degrees in various subjects related to their profession. The 1970 budget of $34.8 million ls 16 percent higher than the 1969 budget of $30 million. and the largest part of the budget, 83.56 percent. is for day school salaries. With respect to the teachers charge that the board has sug- gested a lower salary schedule for elementary teachers. Mr. Starr stated: “It has been the policy of the York County Board since its inception to pa}r teachers with identical qualifications the same salary whether they are teaching in the elementary or secondary panel." 9 on a lower salary schedule than that of the secondary teachers in the proposed (integrated) kindergarten to grade 13 schoél system." Mr. Semple continued. “The total salary schedule must. be evolved such that a teacher may come closer to the standard of living that is rela- tive to the responsibilities and contributions made to this com- munity." When it brought down its budget last week. the board ap- proved an additional $2 million in anticipation of increases in salaries to the 2,000 teachers employed to teach 44.000 child- ren in 110 schools in the county. "Our negotiating team 'felt at the April 1 meeting hou'ever, that it was financially impos- sible for the board to meet the teachers’ demands of that date. The board's most recent offer is at least as high as offers made by neighboring boards. and is higher than some." "The board regrets that ne- gotiations with its elementary teachers have been suspended and is ready to resume talks at any time. Mr. Starr- says the board is prepared to resume negotiations at any time.
