elementary teachers in this area received up to loo minutes of preparation lime as part of a two- year contract in 1085 The agreement also states that teachers will receive n less than minutes per week or 16 minutes of preparation time per day The Metro Teachers was originally asking for 180 minutes per week while the Metropolitan Toronto School Board was offering tea Although tcichcrs association later decreased Its offer to minutes per week talks have since broken down between two sides Neither side expects negotiations lo resume before the end of this tt eek Were watching the situation in Toronto with some interest said Colt on Roberts Preparation time isan issue for us locally Mr Roberts noted Clemen teachers in have never gone on strike According to the Metro School Board the current elementary teachers strike is the first in the federation history since it was farmed 1975 It unfortunate teachers feel upset enough to go on strike Mr Roberts said But It is legitimate strike and a legitimate contract contact expires at the end of this year When negotiations begin in January between Ihe feneration and the Board of a new contract will cover school year Mr Roberts The President could not ex plain why Hie issue of preparation lime v as settled so easily in He noted however that the teichers fedentions in Toronto deal on two levels Seven distinct boards
