caused by the restric tions imposed by the inflation restraint act corrected inequities which occurred in the placement of beginning principals on the principal grid and offered a letter of understanding not to raise the pupil- teacher ratio ptr above 186 to one for the 198485 school year mr jarvis said a letter of understanding has no legal binding we want ptr clauses in the agreement so the board can no longer offset deficit costs by increasing class sizes which is what theyve don up to this point said mr jarvis were talking about quality of education which has been going continual ly down because of overcrowding in the the classrooms the 186 to one still hasnt re turned to the level of 184 to one two years ago mr jarvis predicted the teachers will reject the contract and respond by giving the negotiating team an overwhelming strike mandate we hope the board will finally realize the teachers are adamant in their quest for quality education for the students and their needs will be met by newserious negotia tions he said we would rather negoti ate than have to strike 01201l 1 oco latsi hand made cremes truffles clusters specialty molds easter eggs bunnies
