The time devoted to these activities is not part of the teacher’s contract, however, and the time and energy and interest is a voluntary contribu- tion to the life of the school. At the provincial level. 29,- 169 of the 34,000 secondary school teachers voted on two issues, and only 13,094 were in favor of working-to-rule. 16,- 075 were opposed. The token strike, termed a “withdrawal of services" by the teachers, was to have taken place on Tuesday of next week. Even fWe} favored a strike. Just 5,076 voted “yes,” and 23,- 812 voted "no." Some Metro municipalities have already taken action on the work-to-rule protest, but their quarrel is over salary and contract negotiations, not the cut back on education spending by the province. In a press release, the OSS’I‘F of York County point out that the vote was only one factor involved in their meeting. The other was to inform the public of “harmful effects that the ceilings have produced in cer- bain areas in the province this year, and of possible future ef- 'fects." The work - b0 - rule action would not involve the regular curricular activities of the school, but it would mean that there would be no teachers av- ailable for extra curricular in- struction and supervision for sports, recreation, after-hours tutorial sessions, open house, drama, musical and other events that the public has come to consider a normal part of life in the secondary schools.

Mr. and “Following the receipt of the ballot summary, the provincial executive council of the OSSTF voted in Toronto on April 24 to withdraw the work-to-rule san- ction and the May 3 withdrawal: of service sanction. However. the provincial executive called on all teachers to study their local situations and to report any evidence of deterioration in the quality of education. the elected trustees have had their 10cal autonomy threaten- ed. “In York County, teachers are proud of their board’s suc- cess in building a quality sys- tem. We are concerned that in the future, the minister’s guide- lines do not prevent our board from maintaining and extending the present high sband-ard to all facets of the educational sys- tem.” The trustees agreed to give it serious consideration, ag- reeing that they, also, are con- cerned of the effect of budget ceilings on educational dev- elopment in the region. Representatives of the fed- eration were present at a meet- ing of the board on April 26, and trustees were supplied with copies of their published state- ment, which had been released to the local press and board of- ficials earlier in the day.
