The fact finder appointed in he between the Separate School Board and the teachers has recommended they seek a third party to resolve their dispute Alan Harries in a report released to the public Thursday said there are over 100 clauses within the contract articles which are still in dispute and the parties have a considerable amount of work ahead of them to resolve this contract Harries said there can be no serious discussion on economic Issues until a realistic costing is made of the various proposals The teachers have priced their proposals at 11 cent Increase but the Board says it is more In the range of 18 IB per cent The Board costs their own proposals at between per cent Harries in his report however said both aides costings are unreliable The parlies are disagreeing with respect to the date the various benefit plans should be cost from and the teachers contend hat many of the items which Board is costing as part of their proposal are In fact not new money Items Harries said Among their demands teachers want a per cent salary increase saying that the Board promised to bring the teachers salaries in line with elementary teachers who recently settled with a 4 per cent salary increase The Board however says that separate school boards have unique funding problems and that the Board Is currently in a fragile financial situation The proposed funding by the government has not been implemented and they arc uncertain when It will be Therefore the Board has offered no increase in salary Harries has recommended to he two sides an increase between 2 per cent since all settlements with other separate school boards to date have averaged per cent Harries added that this year is not the year to close the salary gap with the Halton elementary school teachers Harries has also recommended that un certificated teaching experience be entitled to recognition for incremental purposes earned leave recognition for good at tendance be not implemented and board contributions for OHIP premiums extended health benefit plan group life insurance and dental care be increased from per cent to per cent with the Sept l 1984 premium Harries concluded that a mediator Is necessary to resolve many of the differences even though many of the items are subtle wording changes and in many cases are distinctions without a difference The Board and the teachers have met eight times since last February to June 11 Harries was appointed Sept 19 and the two sides have met two limes since then Bateman print first prize in library draw ByBettyanneWellitttd One of five
