' = J "WEEKEND STAR" Elementary teachers, board reach deal By Jeff Mitchell FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2000 - § LACAC plans house tour Whitby's Local X, LACAC, Victorian cloth- Weekend Star The Durham District School Board and its elementary teachers have struck a deal in contract negotiations. A tentative deal was agreed upon by both sides Tuesday night. "There has been a tentative settlement reached with the elementary teachers," Mary Brown, a spokesperson for the board, said Wednesday. The deal was reached late Tuesday. It will be subject to a ratification vote by the teachers on Sept. 15, and will then be put forward for school board approval Sept. 18. Ms Brown would not divulge details of the deal. "They won't release anything at all or make any state- ments until the teachers and trustees have been informed of the details of the (settlement), and agree to them," she said. The 2,400 teachers employed by the Durham board saw their contract expire yesterday. The deal is good news for the Durham board and its teachers, as well as parents and students. All parties have been watching nervously as tension has mounted throughout the province, fueled primarily by the ongoing dispute between the provincial government and sec- ondary school teachers. High school teachers in Durham have so far been pes- simistic about the possibility of reaching a settlement with the board. In fact, members of District 13 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) here have voted more than 70 per cent in favour of a strike. Union officials have since said they won't be walking on picket lines when classes begin next week, but have vowed to take some action to display their dissatisfaction with working conditions. Teachers here and across the province have been infu- riated by the province, which they claim is taking med- dlesome and damaging actions in implementing educa- tion policy. -They also say the recently-passed Bill 74 gives the .province even more power to dictate teachers' hours and working conditions, and severely limits school boards' ability to negotiate wages by placing limits on salary increases. The high school teachers also saw their contracts expire yesterday. TT ------------ A SS SA solid colours, almond and black you to match your homes decor Cast Iron Beauty.
