ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1!70 School Board-Teachers' Hands Are Tied By Local NORTHUMBERLAND and DUJRHAM COUNTY BOARD 0OF EDUCATION * REVENUE FUND BALANCE SHEET AS AT DECEMBER 31, 1969 A debate between local mem- bers of the Ontario SeconJp,'ry School Teachers' Federation and the Northumberland - Durham County Board of Education overý the board's ban of hiring teach- ers ended in deadlock. The'hoard took the line that it had to stick with its agreement withi the Ontario Schools Trustee Council regardless of the fact that ilI ad settled its dispute with local teachiers. A delegation of almost 30 sec- ondary sehool teachers frorn the area attended the board's regular meeting and while there was no oificial notice of the delegation, the board, disregarded its poliey of- 24-hour notice, to hear what ithe teachers had to say. Johin Syýlvestervich of Clarke High Sc>hool, Division President of thie OSSTF, pointed out that the teachers and the board had reachecc an amicable. settiement ou slary and other matters and s;aw "no reason why the ban on hiring ishoudl continue." "We are here as interested parents, taxpayers and teachers to show our concern about the possible n eg ative effeets -that the nxoritoriumn on hiring teachers miglit have on the quality of cd- ucaton that' the students in Northum berland and Dur'ham might rectîve ncxt year," he said. Mr. Sylvestervich said the teachers of the area feit that the Trustees Council bas placed the board and the administration in thie unfair position of having to sacrifice ithe local quality of cdu- cation in supporting the Metro boards. "There are other means of support available to the trustee council , iwlich would flot jeopard- ize the quality of education pro- vincially," he said. George Gratton, Port' Hope 1-igh School, asked the board what its' rationale was in persist- ing with the ban? Jeoffrey Rolph, chairman, said Ihat maybe lie was "over simpli- fying the matter" because he was "Ino expert" but the OSSTF pink- lisý.,d the 7oronto board and this was what started the action. "'You belong to the teachers group; the -ban is a re-action to an action;" he said. Teachers And Baurd Reach Agreement Salary negotiations between the Northumberland and Durham board of education and its teach- crs and employeer are about com- pleted with the 'announcement that has been reachcd with the elementary and teachers of re- tarC*-d. oilîdren. Frank Thom, director of educa- tion said ail that remains are the few specialist positions that don't really fail into a given catcgory. The elementary teachers won an avfrage increase of 4.5 per cent in the basic rate which when conmbired with the annual incre- ments, still is within the board's budget guidelines. T'.,3 starting rate for level one elernen tary teachers is flow $5,400 up to a maximum of $7,200, At the Up- i %r end of the scale, a level five teacher would start at $7,400 up to $12,200.
