According-to Harvey Bainl- kofsky, first vice-president of the OPSMFT, teachers and the board of education salary negotiaton committees have agreed to "pause" in negotia- tions until Bill 100 becomes legislation.

One federation officiai com- mented that this mightý look pretty appetizing to principals and vice-principals, wbo would bave the best of both worids. Don Smith, president of the OPSMTF, said hie would like to survey prîncipals and find out whether they are to he classified as teacbing princi- pals or supervising primicpals. The federation mem bers feit that if a principal is considered a teacher princi- pal, then hie shouid bave the right to strike, but if hie is a supervisor principal, then lie sbouldn't b e part of the affiliation.

ThÏe meeting autborized Don Smitb, president of the men's federation and Linda Smitb, president of the women's association, to prepare and circulate a list of the questions to the teachers in al tbe schools as soon as possible - before the bill went for final reading next week. The teachers were ,also concerned that a proposed five-member education rela- tions commision, set up s0 it would be responsible only to the government, would allow the teachers no mechanism forappeal. Mr. Moffatt contended that this. commission should be answerable to the legislature, not just the government. There is no appeal to the court of commission rulings. Mr. Warren said he didn't think the'act was written to give this commission sweep- ing powers, but rather to keep negotiations on the track. William Carmen, chairman of the board of education's negotiatiiig committee, at- tended the meeting. The board of education is not entirely >hap y wîth al aspects of the bih and Mr. Carmen commented that the board's concerns were "ai- most parallel here. " The Northumberland - New- castle Board of Education bas prepared a four page criticism of the bill outi ining the trustees' concerns. One of the key criticismns is that the "rights of trustees -are being eroded" in that Bill 100 provîdes, for an increasing centralization in contract ne- gotiation between teachers and the provincial govern- ment, rather than wîtb indivi- dual boards. 1Under section 63 of Bill 100 strike action would be prohi- bited unless the collective agreement bas expired, good faith bargaining bas occurred, a fact-finder bas been used, the board's last offer bas been rejected by secret ballot, and teachers vote by secret ballot in favor of a strike. I The federation question- naire noted that close to one quarter of the members of the OPSMTF were principal tea- cbers and vice-principal tea- chers. Spent Less Than Ceiing According to Harvey Bala- kofsky, the Northumberland Newcastle Board of Education spent $25 per pupil less than th e education ceiling last year. Mr. Balakofsky said Educa- tion Minister Thomas Wells, cited the board as one of a number of boards in the province which had not spent to the maximum of the provincial ceilings. Mr. Balakofsky noted that the provincial government has raised the ceiling to $926 per eleimentar3y sc ool pupil, wich he said was about a 13 per- cent increase over- last, year. He noted that tbe boards can also request an extra $80 ~per pupil, wich is granted by the province for restricted program improvements. - Examiner Lindsay.
