George Ford, business ad- ministrator for York County Board of Education, said that taxpayers would save about, $1,24 million in teachers' salaries, because of the re- cent teachers‘ strike. Last week the teachers voted to return to work by March 25, following the midâ€" winter break. after the gov- ernment‘s proposed Bill 12. had ordered them back to their classrooms. Mr. Ford said the savings would mean a reduced edu- cation levy for York prop- erty owners, but lower grants from the government to the York board. He said the teachers’ pay was based on the num- ber of school days worked. including absence through approved leaves, As a result they wouldn’t be paid for the week of the spring break. Vince Mathewson, chief School Strike Will Mean Big Savings For Taxpayers â€" Ford negotiator for the Ontario Secondary School Teachers chcration‘said the federa- tion never contemplated pay-1 ing strike pay for the week of the school break. Although no figures have been released, the OSSTF is estimated to hawe paid out about $850.00 in strike pay., As a result of the unpaid1 salaries, 1973 grant regula-’ tions require lower expendi- ture ceilings and proporâ€"‘ iionaicly lower provincial grants, Douglas Spry, direc- ,tor of the Education Min- istry's school, business and finance branch, said. He said 1974 grant regula- tions would likely be the same as last year‘s. I He said the reason for the reduction of spending limits and provincial subsidies was so as to not make it any tougher 0r easier to reach a settlement. Board Says Will Rehiie Teachers York County Board of Ed- ucation will “willingly” hire all secondary school teachers, who were on staff January 31. and there will be “no dis- crimination of any kind" against any of the teachers who walked off their jobs at that time, the board said last week at a special meeting. following settlement of the six-week strike. Both sides will go to com- pulsory arbitration now be- fore a three-man board one member to be appointed by each side, with the third member to be jointly decided upon. However, if neither the teachers or the trustees can agree on a third party, the latter will be appointed by the government. * =Ir )1! The proposal covering the return to school of the teachers was made by Trus» tee Ross Jolliffe and was ap- proved by a 16-3 vote of the board, with only Trustee Don- ald Sim of Markham, Robert Houghton. Richmond Hill, and Norm Weller, Aurora, voting against it. The motion said that the board “reluctantly” accepted Bill 12, the government’s bill ending the strike, as the only method left, and it was this that caused Mr. Sim to dis- sent. He said he wasn't in dis- agreement with Mr. Jolliffe’s motion, but considered it un-‘ necessary as the Bill would be passed and the board ,wouldn't have any choice but‘ to accept it. In supporting the motion, Trustee John MacKay of Markham said the main con- cern should be students and Ithcir education, and in get- ting the schools open as soon las possible. ‘ Trustee Craig Cribar of ‘Ncwmarket said he hoped it would be possible to com- municate with the teachers again and take action which would protect the integrity of all those concerned. Trustee Warren Bailie of Richmond Hill said he didn't think “marching the teachers the best way to settle the dis- back into the schools" was' RED CROSS NEEDS HOMEMAKERS Richmond Hill, Thornhill and area Mature, healthy, to be as- signed to care for people in‘ their own homes, to care for the sick, the elderly and i children if mother is ill. 3 Good wages. uniform. etc. Car an asset.

Mr. Weller felt there was still time for the latter before arbitration was set up. Schomberg Trustee. John Raniowski, said that the dam- age done to the educational system could take years to overcome, and was why arbi- tration was necessary. Both teachers and students had been injured by the strike and the results would be felt even more when classes resumed. Trustee Morley Kinnee of Vaughan said he felt there would be better co-operation with the teachers than many members of the board felt at that moment. “I have faith that the teachers are just as interested in the boys and girls as we are," he said.
