Working towards reinstating summer school A principal's association within the jurisdiction of the Northi- umberland and Newcastle Board of Education propose the return of summer school for remedial work for high-school students. The programn was dropped some years ago when provincial funds were cut and the board and teachers were unable to come to ternis on teachers' remuneration in operating summer school. The local board does provide summer school courses but the service is purchased from either the Durham, Peterboroughi or Hasting Boards of Education. It means a long trip for local high school students. The local board does offer summer remnedial programs in language arts and mathematics for students from grade 1 te 8. As weli the board offers enrichment courses for younger students in computer studies and visual arts. Last year 250 high school students from the Northiumberland and Newcastle area attended summer courses in neighbouring schools. In 1988 the board and the secondary school teachers federation said that night-school and summner-school credit courses would not be offered without their mutual agreement on employment terms and conditions. The decision and terms have been renewed in each subsequent contract since 1988. The teachers want summer- school pay rates te be based on a grid of the regular teaching salary. The teachers have said that there is no difference in teaching a credit course ai summer school te that of teaching in regular day school. No agreement has since been reached between the board and teachers.
