Tuesday. The board voted in favor of accepting the revised schedule of payments as they now stand after considerable considerable discussion among the trustees.

Bob Willsher, another Newcastle trustee, was in agreement. agreement. As far as he was concerned he said "It's a take it or leave it situation," situation," adding that this dispute was otherwise being brought into the realm of employer/employee employer/employee : relationship which he said is not the case. Although the revised contract offer includes a 6% increase in the basic rate and a 6% increase increase in the distance rate, Betty Jibb, secretary secretary of the bus operators association, who sat through the whole proceedings proceedings along with two other members, was concerned that while provisions were made for those operators whose buses travel a distance of 83 kilometers kilometers per day, many whose buses travel anything anything over that amount were in a deficit position. position. Alnwick, Campbellford trustee, Doris Linton and Cobourg's Russell Walker said they thought there should be at least one more meeting meeting in the interest of fair negotiations but others were strongly opposed.

Mr. Worden pointed out that there was the possibility of being short of buses the first day of school if the contracts contracts came back unsigned unsigned and chairman Ian Wilson said the board should be aware of that possibility.

After a 6-5 vote in which the board agreed to accept the revised revised schedule of payments payments Mrs. Jibb said she was not happy. Any further dialogue on the question now will take place between the school bus operators and the school board's superintendent superintendent of business, Ron Sudds, who assured assured Mrs. Jibb that if any new figures were brought to light and were worthy of consideration consideration the matter would again be put on the agenda. In an interview later Mrs. Jibb said it is a distinct distinct possibility that if the contracts are not signed by members their services will be withheld. If that's the case the Northumberland Newcastle Newcastle Board of Education Education could be faced with tendering these routes to provide adequate bus service lor the coming coming school year. 1 POLY/WOOL , - ! !
