Richmond Hill and New- narluet have been list-ed as OD choices for rthe site of 'he propmed York Region Idministrative complex. Last week, York 'Regibnal Doumil approved without :omment a prehinfinuary plan- ning department study on me search for a site, which secommended: .the old York Manor Farm in Newmarket -am area just west of (13ng Street in Ridlmond The report said that a lo- ation in Richmond Hill uld be "representative of ifferent over-all land‘ use, rom Newmarket. l % chooIBoard Reserves ecision On Appeal However, as 'a service cen- Lre. a complex in Richmond Hill would lbe closer ‘to “a New large populamion" of .‘egioma'l residents, the re- ?Ort said.

Making the presentation on behalf of YCETAF, was Sus- pn Shepe, president. She was accompanied by Signe Snary. president of York County Women’s Teachers Federa- tion. and Stewart Bell, presi- dent, Ontario Public School Men’s Teachers Federation, District 22. Mrs. Shepe said it wasn't the intention of the group to "re-fight the battle of Bill 274" â€" the government bill outlawing mass resignations She described the action as a "punitive" one, in which older teachers, “who could qualify as your most faithful employees." Were penalized. ~I‘he action seemed a poor ne at a time when both eachers and trustees admit- ted to deterioriating relation- ships, Mrs. Shepe said. Groups whose positions were polar- ized by resentment, couldn't Because of its urban self ing, the centre and accom- Iamy’inag development would lave less of an effect on fichmond Hill than 'New- market, because of the sizes hf the two Itowns.

Trustee Don Sim of Mark- ham said the board received advice from a wide variety of people, so it welcomed the delegation of teacher repre- sentatives. However, the ma- jority of calls received re. cently from taxpayers was that the board had been too -â€" nor did they expect pay- nent for the day they had nissed.

He said the “most faith- fu ” teachers that Mrs. Shepc had referred to were in school on the day of the walkout. This brought a few boots from the packed audience of teachers. Mr. Sim said he had heard nothing from Mrs. Shepe to offset the reasoning that the board was too lenient. Trustee Margaret Coburn of King wondered if the teachers were equating the matter with sick leave. “I don‘t think I could in- terpret that as a question," said Mrs. Shepe, who had asked for questions after her presentation. Mrs. Shepe said they weren't asking it to be con- sidered as a sick day. “If you don't work, you don't get paid." she said. Trustee Marvin Hunter said that on sick leave, one day was charged against the teacher‘s sick pay, and one against the retirement gratu- ity fund for the first three days. After the third day, there was no charge. Trustee Doreen Quirk of Markham said that on the day of the walkout, there had been some teachers who had been of! sick le gitimately. Those people lost a day from their re- tirement fund. “Can you tell me why we should reward you” she asked. Mrs. Shepe said she couldn't “follow the logic" of those who were sick with those who stayed away to protest.
