Details of a new contract between the Durham Catholic Separate School Board and its high school teachers were re- leased last week after both sides ratified the deal. But the major issue in the dispute, which led to a three week strike of Catholic high school teachers, will be settled - bybinding arbitration. Both teachers and the board d to a three-person arbitration panel made up of a chairman agreeable to both sides, and two members nomi- nated by the Board and the teachers. The arbitration panel will come up with salary levels for 1989-90 and 1990-91 for teach- ers, principals, vice principals, consultants and resource teach- ers. Some of the issués that were settled include a reduction in the PTR from the present 17:1 to 16.5:1 effective Sept. 1, 1991.
